Fatima Begum (politician)

[1] Fatima Begum received her early education at home and went on to complete her master's degree from Punjab University.

[2] Soon after that, upon advice from Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, she visited Lahore to raise the status of All-India Muslim League's logo.

She became active in many social and political organizations including Anjuman-i-Khawatin-i-Islam (Society of Ladies of Islam), the All India Women's Conference and the All-India Muslim League.

She was very active in the re-awakening of Indian Muslims and creating political awareness among women of Punjab, NWFP and Bihar.

[3][4] Jinnah College for Girls was the prime center of her activities and the main point for Women of Muslim League to confer upon.

When there was famine and very poor health conditions in Bengal, she took to action with her companions to distribute food and medicines to the afflicted.

A research paper on Fatima Begum from the Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan pays a tribute to her services by saying, "It can be concluded safely that if less unknown but faithful and selfless workers like Fatima Begum were not available to the Muslim League and the Quaid-e-Azam, creation of Pakistan was a distant task".
