Abstract: The Ottoman Empire is an Islamic caliphate that once existed in the Anatolian region of Turkey, whose capital is Istanbul. The Empire is dated from the beginning of the late 13th century until its peak in the 15th and 16th centuries.

After the 1930s, they became more aware of the importance of education for their children, including their daughters. Other issues to be discussed are the changing role or position of women and their contributions to the era in political, economic and social aspects. The methodology of this research is more on qualitative method by using historical approach. The findings show that through education, the society has been able to change women's role compared to the past. The biggest accomplishment was on the status of the Malay women with the highly educated ones being given the trust to play more significant roles in politics, economy and social aspects.
