Description:

This Turkish edition of The Touching Memoirs of Şahende Hanım – The Only Female Defendant of the 1910 Secret Society Case (Şahende Hanım’ın Sûzişli Hatıraları – 1910 Cemiyet-i Hafiye Davasının Tek Kadın Sanığı) was published by Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları in 2016. Printed in Turkish, the volume brings together the handwritten memoirs, personal letters, and official court documents of Fatma Şahende Erginarslan, the only woman prosecuted in the famous Cemiyet-i Hafiye (Secret Society) trial of 1910.

The book examines the political atmosphere that followed the proclamation of the Second Constitutional Era, focusing on allegations that a clandestine organization sought to overthrow the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) government. Through Şahende Hanım's own writings, readers gain a rare firsthand perspective on one of the Ottoman Empire's most controversial political trials and the judicial processes of the period.

A central theme of the memoir is Şahende Hanım's imprisonment, trial, and exile to Bursa and Sinop after her name became associated with an alleged assassination plot against Grand Vizier İbrahim Hakkı Paşa. Maintaining her innocence throughout, she records the personal hardships, emotional suffering, and legal struggles she endured, making the work an important primary source on political justice, women's history, and late Ottoman society.
