Halide Edip Adıvar was born in Istanbul in 1882. She is one of the prominent female
authors of Turkish Literature. But she is also one of the first hand witnesses of the Turkish
War of Independence and a renowned social activist. In 1908, she started writing in important
publications such as Mehasin, Tanin, Musavver Muhit and Resimli Kitap. A political piece that
she published in the Tanin newspaper made her a target of threats and she sought haven in
Egypt with her family. During that time, she met many imminent literary figures, and had the
opportunity to enrich her literary knowledge. She returned to Istanbul in 1909. After the
occupation of Izmir by the Greek army on May 16, 1919, she delivered a passionate speech
at a rally in Sultanahmet, Istanbul. This event would become the turning point of her life,
as it established her reputation as a national hero and an advocate for national liberation
and justice. As the Allies occupied Istanbul in 1920, she fled to Anatolia with her family to
become one of the key female heroes of the national struggle. During these war years, she
was present on various fronts alongside Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and she wrote about her
experience.
