A woman who makes dolls of female heroes from Anatolia has added Halide Edip Adıvar, one of the important figures of the War of the Independence, to her collection for the 100th anniversary of the foundation of modern Türkiye.

Some 50 women are making dolls of the "real women heroes," such as a Hittite queen and a Turkish astrophysicist, as part of a project which aims at both generating money to fund to help girls with their education and inspire them.
