Short Note Or Summary Of "The Role of Women In The Pakistan Movement'" 

       Women also took active part in the Pakistan movement side by side with men. They formed the women branch of the Muslim League. They organized public meetings for women and addressed large gatherings. They also took part in public meetings organized by men and made speeches there . They educated Muslim girls. They took out processions. They traveled near and far places to explain their struggle for independence to people. Women from Punjab and Sindh contributed a lot in the Pakistan Movement. Thus we can say that women played a great role in the creation of Pakistan along with men.
       Among such selfless and courageous women the name of aged Abadi  Begum, popularly known as 'Bi Aman' leads the rest. She was the mother of Moulana Muhammad Ali and Moulana Shaukat Ali, two brave and noble brothers who devoted their lives to the cause of Muslims.
      Another lady is Begum Muhammad Ali. She spoke in simple words and in a natural tone but very effectivety. She also wrote for the press. Then there was Miss Fatima Jinnah whom the nation called Madr-i-Millat. She helped her brother in the struggle for the establishment of Pakistan. Begum Rana Liaquat Ali worked as an honorary secretary and typist to Liaquat Ali Khan (her husband) at a time, when the Muslim League could not afford the salary of a secretary. She arranged parties, where Muslim women could meet the wife and the daughter of the Viceroy.
       In Sindh, the work of awakening the Muslim women was carried out by lady Nusrat Haroon, Lady Sughra Hidayatullah, Begum Khairunnisa Shaban and Miss Fakhrunnisa Wali Muhammad Effendi.
        Begum Jahan Ara Shahnawaz from the Punjab, represented the Muslim women at the Round Table Conferences held in London and was the first women ever to make a speech in London's Guild Hall.
