Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's wife was wrong when she claimed that the Ottoman-era harems provided women with an education.

According to Turkish historian Ayşe Hür, women's education in the harem was most likely limited to knowing how to act in the sultan's presence, how to raise children, and how play musical instruments.
