She also published a large number of articles focusing on women in varying journals, in addition to her active role in women＇s associations. Her work did not remain limited with Literature but extended to the other fields such as Education, Sociology, History and Philosophy. This article analyzes her contributions to the Ottoman History via her two historical works： Tarih-i Osmaninin Bir Devre-i Miihimmesi： Kosova Zaferi-Ankara Hezimeti （An Important Era of the Ottoman History： Victory in Kosovo-Defeat in Ankara） published in 1912/1913 and Ahmet Cevdet Papa ve Zaman： （Ahmet Cevdet Pasha and His Time） published in 1914. Her former work analyzes the significance of the Battle of Kosova （1389） and the Battle of Ankara （I 402） for the Ottoman History. Her latter work is a biographical account of his father, Ahmet Cevdet Pasha, who was an Ottoman intellectual, bureaucrat, administrator, and last but not least, a historian. This work focuses on the significance of these two works for Turkish Historiography.展开更多
