Fatma Aliye travelled in the 1920s several times to France in search of her daughter and also for her own health reasons. In 1928, she lost her husband. Fatma Aliye adopted the family name ``Topuz'' after the introduction of the Surname Law in Turkey, which was enacted on 21 June 1934. Having lived her last years in poor health and financial distress, she died on 13 July 1936 in Istanbul.
