Although Zafer Hanım wrote her novel Aşk-ı Vatan ("Motherland Love") in 1877, years before Fatma Aliye Hanım, she is not credited as the first Turkish female writer due to her only one work published [REF].
Fatma Aliye's portrait is depicted on the reverse of the 50 Turkish lira banknote issued in 2009 [REF].
