Summary

The history gained a place in the social sciences in the beginning of the 20th century and opened doors to major transformations in terms of revealing the historicity of mankind. In this period, the history was trying to be recognised as a science and its predominantly narrative writing technique started to change and  an understanding of social history was developed, which includes individuals in the field of history. Even micro-fields such as gender historiography and women's historiography were added to the history arena. This transformation was called social history and it opened doors to  clearer view  of social reality.  The women is an important factor of the history, and her status is one of the significant elements of the social history. When we look at from this point of view, the historicity of the women of Ankara had significant importance and  comprise one of  the main data to understand the period (17th  century). Our study aims to determine the identity of women of Ankara in the 17th century with the view of historical sociology and  reveal  her status  in the society and her presence in public places. In our study, we have examined   Ankara Islamıc Judicial records (Şer’iyye Sicilleri)   of the period together with the  copyrighted studies and academic theses related to the period,  and our interpretation  was presented accordingly.
