Fatima Jinnah was born on July 31, 1893 and was a dental surgeon, biographer stateswoman and one of the leading founding mothers of modern-state of Pakistan and was also the younger sister of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan.
After obtaining the dental degree from Kolkata University, she had accompanied Muhammad Ali Jinnah taking active participation in politics.
During the transfer of power in 1947, Jinnah formed the Women's Relief Committee, which later formed the nucleus for the All Pakistan Women's Association (APWA).
She played an active role in national politics in 1965 after announcing her presidential candidacy, running against Ayub Khan in the 1965 elections and traveling West-Pakistan and East-Pakistan during the election campaign.

She also played a significant role in the settlement of Muhajirs in the new state of Pakistan.
