Alem-i Nisvan (Crimean Tatar : عالم نسوان, lit. 'Women's World') was a Crimean Tatar magazine oriented towards women and published from 1906 to 1912. Founded by leading Crimean Tatar intellectual and journalist Ismail Gasprinsky, it was under the editorship of his daughter Şefiqa Gaspıralı throughout its entire existence.
The concept of a Crimean Tatar magazine for women was promoted by leading intellectual and journalist leader Ismail Gasprinsky. Though issues corresponding to the women's community were occasionally brought up in Gasprinsky's popular Terciman , Gasprinsky felt that a magazine devoted specifically to women was necessary. As a result, Alem-i Nisvan was created, with Gasprinsky's daughter, Şefiqa Gaspıralı, serving as editor, [1] and Gasprinsky serving as publisher. [2]
Another significant person in the creation of Alem-i Nisvan was Gasprinsky's wife, Zehra Akçurina-Gaspıralı. Akçurina-Gaspıralı had previously attempted unsuccessfully to establish a female-oriented Crimean Tatar publication, called Terbiye, in 1887. Gasprinsky also sought to supplement the newspaper Kadın (lit. 'Woman') on a bimonthly basis, but the authorities of the Russian Empire were opposed to these endeavours until the aftermath of the 1905 Russian Revolution, when subsequent political reforms allowed for such a magazine to be published. [1]
The purpose of the magazine was to educate Crimean Tatar women, who generally lacked education due to the social conservatism guiding Crimean Tatar society at the time. The elimination of illiteracy, growth of Crimean Tatar culture, and education of sharia were primary goals. It published both information on the status of women under sharia and secular instructions on hygiene, housework, and sewing. There was also a section devoted to science and literature. Included in the pages of Alem-i Nisvan were biographies of famous women, stories from foreign countries, and fiction. [1]
From its 1906 founding until 1908, Alem-i Nisvan functioned as a free weekly supplement to Terciman. From 1908 to 1909, it operated as an independent newspaper, before returning to Terciman in 1910. The last issue of Alem-i Nisvan was published in 1911. [2] In 1905, after the liberalization of legislation, the new magazine received the right to live.
In 2011, a conference dedicated to the 105th anniversary of Alem-i Nisvan's founding was held at the Crimean Engineering and Pedagogical University . The modern Crimean Tatar women's magazine Arzı (lit. 'Dream') considers itself to be a direct descendant of Alem-i Nisvan. [1]

Crimean Tatar, also called Crimean, is a Kipchak Turkic language spoken in Crimea and the Crimean Tatar diasporas of Uzbekistan, Turkey and Bulgaria, as well as small communities in the United States and Canada. It should not be confused with Tatar, spoken in Tatarstan and adjacent regions in Russia; the two languages are related, but belong to different subgroups of the Kipchak languages, while maintaining a significant degree of mutual intelligibility. Crimean Tatar has been extensively influenced by nearby Oghuz dialects and is also mutually intelligible with them to varying degrees.

The Jadids were a political, religious, and cultural movement of Muslim modernist reformers within the Russian Empire in the late 19th and early 20th century. They normally referred to themselves by the Turkic terms Taraqqiparvarlar ("progressives"), Ziyalilar ("intellectuals"), or simply Yäşlär/Yoshlar ("youth"). The Jadid movement advocated for an Islamic social and cultural reformation through the revival of pristine Islamic beliefs and teachings, while simultaneously engaging with modernity. Jadids maintained that Turks in Tsarist Russia had entered a period of moral and societal decay that could only be rectified by the acquisition of a new kind of knowledge and modernist, European-modeled cultural reform.
