The Jadid movement that emerged in Turkestan at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century was significant not only as an enlightenment movement but also as a socio-political movement aimed at reforming various aspects of public life. As the Jadids advocated for the construction of an all-round progressive society in their programs, they paid special attention to the issue of women. In particular, questions of women’s health, family upbringing, sanitation, and hygiene occupied an important place in the Jadid press and their programmatic views. This article analyzes the social views of Turkestan Jadids directed toward improving women’s health on the basis of historical sources.
