[1] In April 1913 Nuriye Ulviye Mevlan Civelek founded Women's World magazine with the legacy of her husband, Hulusi Bey.

The reason for this supplement is explained in the magazine as "to ensure the mutual dialogue of our brothers and sisters in Europe".

[3] Although there is no exact information about the circulation of Women's World, an advertisement published in the 165th issue gives clues; the advertisement announces that 3,000 copies of the magazine will be printed due to paper shortages and that readers should subscribe to avoid the trouble of finding the magazine.

[6] Regular contributors included Mükerrem Belkıs,[6] Atiye Şükran, Aliye Cevat, Safiye Büran, Aziz Haydar (1881–?

),[6] Nimet Cemil, Meliha Cenan, Belkıs Şevket, Fatma Zerrin, Seniye Ata, Sacide and Mes'adet Bedirhan.

[8] The focus of the magazine was the visibility of women in social life, participation in working life, reorganization of the rules on clothing outside the home, improving the education of girls, providing higher education for women, preventing marriages by arrangement, and improving the family.

[6] The magazine, which is a pioneering example of the struggle for independent and solidarity women in the Ottoman Empire, is noteworthy not only for its openness to women writers but also for its wide coverage of letters from its readers, which led to a diversity of viewpoints and the opportunity to respond to readers' concerns.

Considering the nationalist environment of the period, triggered especially by the Balkan Wars, the importance of this principle can be understood.

[1] Historian Serpil Çakır considers Kadınlar Dünyası "the most radical of the Ottoman women’s journals, in that it did not allow male writers to write in its columns".

[12] The magazine received attention, congratulations and encouragement from the foreign press, and reporters Grace Ellison from The Times and Odette Feldman from the Berliner Tageblatt visited the editorial offices.
