November November & December are Minor Ladies Months!

For the month of November, fymagnificentwomen would like to spotlight some of the less-celebrated women of Muhteşem Yüzyıl and Kösem, encouraging content that features characters with minor, guest, or supporting roles in the drama.

Who qualifies as a minor female character? For the sake of clarity, we’ll define minor ladies as those who are either not titled ‘Sultan’, or those who are but not listed in or directly after the opening credits. (An incomplete list of characters may be found below; questions concerning eligibility may be directed to the askbox).
