'''Miss. Fatima Jinnah''' (31 July 1893 – 9 July 1967) was a [[Pakistan]]i [[dentist|dental surgeon]], [[writer]], [[Politician|stateswoman]] and one of the founders of [[Pakistan]].<ref name=Bokhari>{{cite book|last=Bokhari|first=Afshan|title=The Oxford encyclopedia of women in world history|year=2008|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-514890-9|page=653|edition=V 1}}</ref> She was the younger sister of [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] who became the first Governor General of Pakistan. <br />
<br />
She was a strong critic of the [[British Raj]], and a leading member of the [[All-India Muslim League]]. She advocated the separation of Pakistan as an independent state when the Raj ended.<br />
<br />
After the independence of Pakistan, Jinnah co-founded the All Pakistan Women's Association, which helped settle the migrants in the new country. After the [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah#Death|death]] of her brother, she was a prominent philanthropist,<ref name="Bokhari"/> but was not politically active until 1965. Then she took part in the Pakistani presidential election against the military [[Dictator]] [[Ayub Khan]]. She lost the primary because of election rigging by the [[Pakistan Army]].<ref>{{cite web|title=In brief By Ali Iqbal|url=http://archives.dawn.com/weekly/books/archive/040328/books15.htm|publisher=Dawn Weekly|accessdate=14 April 2013|archive-date=28 June 2013|archive-url=https://archive.is/20130628234141/http://archives.dawn.com/weekly/books/archive/040328/books15.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
