dc.description.abstractBu araştırmanın amacı Susan Orvin’in Türkiye’de American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (Amerikan Yabancı Misyon Komiserleri Kurulu) için yaptığı görevi sırasında unutulmuş başarılarını hatırlamak ve analiz etmektir. On dokuzuncu yüzyılın sonlarında üniversite mezunu bir kadın olarak erkekler tarafından domine edilmiş bir alanda çalışması başarılarını daha da üstün kılıyor. Kendisi sadece bir misyoner değil aynı zamanda Türkiye, çin ve Rusya’da Near East Relief Vakfı ile çalışan yardımsever bir insandı. Susan’ın Türkiye’de katkıda bulunduğu eğitim sistemi ve de karşılaştığı yetim ve mülteciler bir sürü insanın özellikle de kurtardığı 3000 yetimin hayatına çok büyük bir etkisi oldu. Maalesef çalışmaları fark edilmeden kaldı ve bu makaledeki amacımız onun başarılarının öneminin üzerinde durmak, misyonerlik ve yardımseverlik çalışmaları sırasında hem devletle yaşadığı hem de çalışmalarında karşılaştığı zorlukları belirtmektir.en_US
dc.description.abstractThis research paper’s goal is to look at, analyze and remember Susan Orvis’s forgotten achievements during her mission in Turkey for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Being a female college graduate in the late nineteenth century working in a prominently male dominated field, makes her achievements more outstanding. She was not only a missionary but also a humanitarian who worked with the Near East Relief foundation in Turkey in addition to other countries including Russia and China. Susan’s contributions in Turkey to both the education system and the orphans and refugees she encountered had a great and significant effect on the lives of many people such as the 3000 orphans she saved. Her work has unfortunately gone unnoticed and our aim in this paper is to emphasize her achievements and the difficulties she faced with both the government and her missionary and humanitarian work.en_US
