"Black Fatma" Fatma Seher Erden was born in Erzurum in 1888. Since her husband Ahmet Bey was an officer, she also lived the life of a soldier. She participated in the Balkan War. Her husband Major Ahmet Bey was martyred in Sarıkamış. Fatma Seher Erden travelled to Sivas during the congress days in 1919 and met with Mustafa Kemal. Mustafa Kemal assigned Fatma Seher Erden to the western front as Militia Detachment Commander and nicknamed her "KARA" because he saw that she was a fierce Anatolian woman. Fatma Seher Erden would now be known as "KARA FATMA".

KARA FATMA was the only female commander in the Turkish Army during the War of Independence who had her own platoon and officially held the rank of first lieutenant. She is also a veteran who was wounded many times at the front, escaped even though she was captured, and destroyed her captors. Her life was transferred to the stage based on documents.  It is a theatre work in the genre of BIOGRAPHY-HISTORY-DRAM.
