Şerife Fatma "Mevhibe" Hanım was a 19th century female Ottoman calligrapher and poet.
However, a small group of female artists, including Esmâ Ibret Hanim and Şerife Fatma "Mevhibe" Hanım made valuable contributions to Turkish art and culture.
She was the daughter of Seyyid Mehmed Hasib Pasha (d. 1870), an Ottoman statesman, who had served as the Minister of the Treasury.
[2] The title, “Şerife” (meaning honourable), reflects her ancestry which her family claimed to descend from one of the Prophet's brothers.
She assumed the nickname "Mevhibe", meaning “generous gift” after she became a practicing poet and calligrapher.
