Lost Women of Turkey. On Making Pilgrimage and Finding Self (en Inglés) - Beth Bruno

Walk the land. Hear the women. Find yourself.

Pilgrimage through the heart of Anatolia-where ancient bathhouses, hidden harems, and forgotten monasteries still whisper the stories of women who shaped the land.

In Lost Women of Turkey, you'll journey from the congestion of Istanbul to the magic of Cappadocia to the turquoise Aegean Coast, uncovering the sacred traces of saints, desert mothers, and empresses erased by history. The bathhouse exposes body shame. The belly dancer stirs questions of objectification. A 4th-century female-led monastery challenges your ideas of calling and leadership. In these places, if you're listening, God speaks.

In this book, readers will discover:

Beth Bruno walked these same streets for a decade before she began to see them differently. What began with the discovery of an empress's monogram became a new way of understanding faith, identity, and her place in both. Now, as she returns each year with women's pilgrimages, she continues unearthing stories that speak across time, and invites you to recover what's been buried in your own life.
