520 |a The present study tries to characterize the specificity of female conversion by examining the—mostly unedited—sources kept in the State Archive of Venice, i.e. Inquisition trials, official decrees of the Government of Venice, letters and dispatches from and to the bailo (i.e. the Venetian Ambassador at Constantinople). In the light of these documents, the dimension of women's conversion appears to be more intimate than that of their male counterparts. For instance, being far from the political scene, Christian women did not convert to Islam in search of titles and honours; rather, for some of them, to embrace the Muslim religion meant to try to escape from a grey life and to redeem themselves by settling down in the Ottoman domains. On the other hand, Muslim women's conversions to Christianity were often overcast by the shadow of forced proselytism.
