Pakistani women continue to blaze ahead all over the world in the name of progress and highlighting the fact that they are capable as anyone else on the planet.

Benazir Bhutto is honoured at number 20 as 'The first woman in charge of a Muslim-majority country' with her image captioned as: Benazir Bhutto first becomes Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1988.

For Pakistan this is moment of great pride and joy to have women who are progressive, emancipated, educated and with oodles of style representing the country.
