    The untold story of an inspiring woman: Selma Rıza
    (Bilkent University, 2020) Charyyeva, Jennet; Yang, Jung Heun; Nazzal, Nil; Hammoud, Rawan; Ereshova, Selbi
    Selma Rıza is noted to be an inspiring woman who was a journalist and an advocate in different political and social bodies. Her novel, Uhuvvet, explicates the different aspects of women living within Turkish society. Importantly, Selma Rıza not only affected society through her writings, but also through different positions she took, some of which include: literature, health, politics, and education. She worked in the Red Crescent and was involved in the Committee of Union and Progress. Her uniqueness was also derived from her family members, specifically her brother, who partook in the Young Turks. Selma experienced struggles due to the patriarchal nature of the society that dismissed the contributions of women. Needless to say, her legacy was further humbled by the lack of adequate sources that detail her eventful life and hard work. This research is an effort to contribute to the literature about Selma Rıza.
