Osmanlı'nın İlk Kadın Kabadayısı: Baltalı Hano

The last years of the Ottoman Empire. Istanbul. Hanzade — a widow, she has a son, her life seems settled. Until her son doesn't return home. Her lover always prevented her. But one night Hanzade disguised herself as a man and followed her lover. What she saw in the bathhouse that night, transformed her into a completely different woman. She grabbed the axe next to her. 21 people. When morning came, Istanbul was talking about a different name: Hano with the Axe. In this episode, we examine the least known, most deserving female figure of the Ottoman Empire. Is it real or a legend? We ask that question together. ⚠️ Content warning: This episode deals with a real or legendary case involving violence. #realcrime #ottomanhistory #turkishpodcast #podcastturkey #ottomanperiod
