leadership. A number of examples are on the record of our history where women have
been rulers or assisted the rulers in their affairs or have exhibited tremendous
intellectual efforts for the reform and betterment of the society. These ladies bore
enthusiasm for social uplift and high qualities of leadership, sincerity, intellect, courage
and command. With their male colleagues, they stood hand in hand, to offer strong
resistance against the British. Ms. Fatima Jinnah known as Madar-e-Millat (Mother of
the Nation) who was the first lady to have inspired and organized the Muslim women for
the struggle of freedom. At that stage, ladies of the elite, in particular, gave a solid
helping hand to the men, in. their social and political efforts. After independence in 1947,
these women formed bodies and organizations to establish platform where they cold
exhibit their leadership qualities and opinion and where they could initiating work
towards achievement of their objectives. Therefore, in this Paper I want to analyse that
Pakistan was the only one country where women's played an important role in political
participation and the largest percentage of women to take part in the parliament of
