===Women in literature===

Constantinople was home to the first known Western [[Armenian literature|Armenian]] journal published and edited by a woman (Elpis Kesaratsian). Entering circulation in 1862, ''Kit'arr'' or ''Guitar'' stayed in print for only seven months. Female writers who openly expressed their desires were viewed as immodest, but this changed slowly as journals began to publish more "women's sections". In the 1880s, Matteos Mamurian invited [[Srpouhi Dussap]] to submit essays for ''Arevelian Mamal''. According to Zaruhi Galemkearian's autobiography, she was told to write about women's place in the family and home after she published two volumes of poetry in the 1890s. By 1900, several Armenian journals had started to include works by female contributors including the Constantinople-based ''Tsaghik''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rowe |first=Victoria |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mOvE4Ec-_oEC&pg=PA132 |title=A History of Armenian Women's Writing, 1880–1922 |date=2003 |publisher=Cambridge Scholars Press |isbn=978-1-904303-23-7 |access-date=2018-11-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028204626/https://books.google.com/books?id=mOvE4Ec-_oEC&pg=PA132 |archive-date=2020-10-28 |url-status=live}}</ref>
