Nur Deriş on the extraordinary life of journalist Sabiha Sertel (1895-1968). Deriş is co-editor of “The Struggle for Modern Turkey: Justice, Activism and a Revolutionary Female Journalist” (IB Tauris/Bloomsbury). The volume is the first ever appearance in English of Sertel's autobiography “Roman Gibi” (Like a Novel), a fascinating window into an era covering the war of independence and Turkey's entire single-party period until 1950.
