note = {How efficient are computerised tools in studying women’s history?
Can the field benefit from highly technicalised approaches more than
qualitative approaches? Is qualitative data quantified when we analyse
literary texts for women’s history with computerised tools, or are
these in fact opposite? In this essay, I address these questions with
examples from my research on Battal Ghazi texts from the sixteenth to
the early twentieth centuries, especially looking at books written in
the early 1940s and 1970s and their spatial references to Christian
Greek women and Muslim men. I focus on the aforementioned
methodological questions that have emerged from the ongoing research
and argue that computerised data is only meaningful when in direct
dialogue with textual and historical analysis of gender, thus cannot
be understood in a vacuum.},
