The paper presents a consideration of the assumption that Jelena Dimitrijevic in her novel Nove gave homage to the suffragist and the first Turkish contemporary writer Fatma Aliye, reflecting the motives from her life and work on the topic and characters of this novel. More examples of similarities between fates and actions of the characters from mentioned novel and the biography of Fatma Aliye refer to Dimitrijevic?s intention to draw attention to the work of her Turkish contemporary and, throught that, her support of the late Ottoman society?s reforms and the question of women rights in it, for which Fatma Aliye advocated.
