Statue of Nene Hatun in Erzurum, who has become the symbol of patriotic Turkish women

Nene Hatun (1857-1955) was a twenty year old woman with a three month old baby at the start of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, which is known as the "The war of 93" (93 Harbi) in Turkish in reference to the Hijri year in which the war was fought. She had been living in a neighborhood of Erzurum called Aziziye. In November 1877, Aziziye was attacked by the Russians, but they were defeated with the help of women volunteers. Nene Hatun was the most heroic of them all and became a symbol of bravery.

Nene Hatun had lived in Aziziye her entire life, and died there at the age of 98. She was named as "Mother of the Mothers" in 1955.
