This essay surveys French colonialism in Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco from 1830 until 1962. It does so within a comparative framework, contrasting the North African regimes with France's possessions world-wide as well as with other modern empires. The voices of those labeled unsatisfactorily as "the colonized," particularly women and non-elites, have often gone missing—especially for earlier periods--because the documentary corpus is lacking, inaccessible, recondite, or was destroyed during warfare. This essay assesses the current state of the field, mainly secondary historical literature on women, gender, and empire.

Description
Since the early Ottoman period, elite women provided charity for the less fortunate, often in service of zakat, the granting of alms—one of the five pillars of Islam. By the mid-1860s, when the documents in this cluster begin, women in the Anatolian Peninsula, and throughout the outer reaches of the Ottoman Empire, were providing new forms of charity in starting and running orphanages, soup kitchens, hospitals, and girls’ schools.
