Because she&#8217;s a Turkish writer, her literary work suits both the western and eastern worlds, she&#8217;s also an activist and does other things along with writing books. However, her novels are also based on issues that happen in societies. She uses her creativity to address those problems in her novels to bring change.

She chooses storytelling to describe important issues. She had gotten into trouble for that as well, as she once spent three years in jail. Besides her literary work, she also actively participates in politics and social activities. She had signed petitions several times for things she thought were not right, as she&#8217;s taught in universities and writes essays on several topics.
