'praised' and 'life'; also known as Ayşe Osmanoğlu; 15 November 1887 – 10 August 1960) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Sultan Abdul Hamid II and Müşfika Kadın.

[5][6] Ayşe's education took place in a study room in the Lesser Chancellery of the Yıldız Palace, together with her elder half-sister Şadiye Sultan.

[9] She was herself the student of François Lombardi (1865–1904[10]), who had been hired as instructor to the Imperial Corps of Music and from whom Ayşe also took lessons once a week.

[2] Before her father's death, Ayşe went to Switzerland,[13] where the couple's third child, a son, Sultanzade Osman Nami Bey was born on 13 January 1918 in Geneva.

[2] Ayşe Sultan and her husband divorced in 1921, when the princess met Colonel Yarbay Mehmed Ali Bey, son of Rauf Pasha, at a reception at Dolmabahçe Palace.

The work originally appeared in the serial format in the Turkish popular magazine Hayat in the late 1950s, followed by its publication as a book in Istanbul in 1960, shortly before the princess's death.

She wrote with name Ayşe Osmanoğlu [5][15][16] At its publication, the major attraction of the book lay in the princess's recollections of her famous parent.

[17] Ayşe Sultan died on 10 August 1960 at the Serencebey Yokuşu, at the age of 72, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum at the Yahya Efendi dervish convent, adjacent to Yıldız Palace.
