Prominent Turkish author Adalet Ağaoğlu died on Tuesday at the age of 91.
She is described as the most prolific authors of 20th century Turkish literature.
"We lost Adalet Ağaoğlu this morning," wrote Turkish literary critic Semih Gümüş on Twitter.
"She was one of the most important writers of our literature. Her novels were very special," Gümüş said sharing a photo of the Turkish novelist along with her husband who died in 2018.
Turkey's prestigious Boğaziçi University said: "We have lost the great name of our literature, the valuable writer Adalet Ağaoğlu, who has an honorary Ph.D. from Boğaziçi University. She will always live with her works."
The award-winning writer was born in 1929 in the Turkish capital Ankara. She studied French Language and Literature at Ankara University.
"Her first novel, Lying down to Die, was published in 1973 and soon became a hit, later becoming a trilogy with the publication of A Wedding Night (1979) and No (1989)," according to Boğaziçi University.
"Ağaoğlu's second novel, Thin Rose of My Thoughts (1976), was pulled off the shelves at the fourth edition after charges were filed against her for 'humiliating and deriding armed forces'. She was eventually acquitted after a two-year trial," the university said.
In 2010, Agagolu donated her personal archive to the university which has been kept in a room designed under her supervision. This room also contains her personal objects such as her study-desk and typewriter, her correspondence and the first editions of her books.
Also, a human rights defender, Ağaoğlu's writings focused on social issues and their impacts on individuals through sarcasm and monologues.
