Two Pakistani women, former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and human rights activist Malala Yousafzai, have been featured in a prestigious French magazine, Marie Claire. The publication describes them as inspirational and powerful heroes who have had a transformative impact on the world. Pakistan has made notable contributions in various fields, producing renowned doctors, scientists, and scholars. However, the representation of women in these achievements has been limited. Nevertheless, as society progresses, two Pakistani women have gained international recognition as influential figures. Marie Claire’s list, published in March, showcases 60 remarkable women, including women’s rights activists, advocates for racial equality, inventors, scientists, and world leaders. Bhutto, as succinctly described on the website, became Pakistan’s first female prime minister in 1988. Despite a military coup that toppled her father’s government, she took charge of the Pakistan People’s Party and successfully pushed for open elections, winning just three months after giving birth. Furthermore, the list highlights Malala’s achievements, surviving a Taliban gunshot wound to the face and subsequently becoming a global spokesperson for human rights, education, and women’s rights. In 2014, she was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize. Marie Claire’s list includes a remarkable collection of women who have left an indelible mark on the world, their societies, and the ongoing struggle for women’s empowerment. Notable names among the list include Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep, Gloria Steinem, Jane Austen, Maya Angelou, Queen Elizabeth II, and Indira Gandhi.
