EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sabiha Gokcen, a remarkable figure in Turkish history. She was not only an accomplished aviator but also the adopted daughter of Kemal Ataturk, the founder and first president of modern Turkey. Gokcen holds the distinction of being the world's first female fighter pilot. Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. It was originally featured as an illustration for "Women of all Lands, Their Charm, Culture and Characteristics" edited by Rosita Forbes in 1935. Gokcen's story represents both liberation and progress for women in the twentieth century. Her determination to break gender barriers within aviation highlights her courage and trailblazing spirit. The photograph captures her wearing goggles and a helmet while holding a gun, symbolizing her strength and fearlessness. The image also provides insight into Turkish culture during that time period. As an important figure in Turkish history, Gokcen played a significant role in shaping modern Turkey alongside Ataturk. This historical photograph serves as a reminder of how far society has come regarding gender equality while honoring those who paved the way for future generations. It stands as evidence that women can excel in traditionally male-dominated fields such as aviation and continue to inspire others with their achievements.
