... that Turkish women's rights activist Mebrure Aksoley served in her political career of more than forty years in the parliament, Constituent Assembly and Senate? Source: "Türk Kadınları Birliği’nin 1949’da yeniden açılmasıiçinçalışmış ve Genel Başkanı olmuştur", "Aksoley 7. ve 8. Dönem Ankara Milletvekili olarak TBMM’ye girmiştir.", "Kurucu Meclis’in Temsilciler Meclisi’nde CHP temsilcisi olarak görev almıştır ", "Cumhuriyet Senatosu’nda,seçilmiş üye olarak bulunmuştu r" (in Turkish)[1], "C.H.P de 42 Yıllık Çalışmalarımdan Bazı Örnekler" (in Turkish)[2]
Interesting: - There's plenty of career politicians around the planet, but Aksoley founded an elementary school before beginning her political career as a woman in 1928! That's really cool.
