On the issue of women's education among Crimean Tatars (19th – early 20th century)

This scientific publication presents a retrospective of important issues related to the education of the Crimean Tatar woman in the 19th – early 20th centuries. In the presented key, the authors rely on an impressive base of archival documents and research of contemporaries. Today, the stated topic sounds no less acute than a century ago, despite the presence of a policy of proletarianization of Islamic women. Modern Russia, all other things being equal, being one of the leading powers, preaches gender equality and the maximum involvement of Muslim women in the educational, cultural and scientific world in order to disseminate the main ideas of progress in the social environment. A woman-mother was, is and will remain the main link between a child and the world. A competent and innovative presentation of today, its prospects and possible results are a kind of roadmap, which the younger generation of society is called upon to provide. Involvement of historical retrospective in the issue under consideration will help contemporaries find the most rational ways to solve the problem not only from the point of view of scientific approaches, but also practical application, which again emphasizes the relevance of the stated topic. Historical experience in the context of the education of a Muslim woman, at the origins of which stood Ismail bey Gasprinsky, deserves serious and comprehensive study.
