Turks Urge Women Not To Walk Like Males CONSTANTINOPLE—Turkish women are exhorted by the Constantinople daily, “The Republic,” not to adopt amidst all their new western practices, the Anglo-Saxon woman’s “soldierly stride.’' The sheet devoted to women, a recent innovation of this newspaper, lays down the following rules as to the proper method of walking for the ladylike: “Do not drag your set, but slide them gently along the pavement.

#OTD #Turkish #History #WomensHistory news - With reference to both "Walk Like an Egyptian" and "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", I feel like today is a win.

The sculpture depicts a soldier wearing his active service equipment and helping a comrade who has been wounded, by giving him a drink from his water bottle. The theme of the sculpture, with its focus on healing rather than war, is appropriate for a village devoted to the resettlement of wounded soldiers. The base of the cast is made to resemble rocky ground and there is a fragment of a cartwheel to the left hand side, with Ms Delahunt’s signature
