As a section of humanity and as individuals, they have faced immense struggles, have had varied experiences, have rendered their support to the freedom struggle, have raised their voice for women’s emancipation and have asserted their identity. This book is a very fine documentation of the lives of prominent Indian Muslim women icons who inspired millions of other women to express their voice and bring about social transformation.» (Mr K Rahman Khan, Former Union Minister of Minority Affairs-GOI, Former Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha.) 　 This book brings together an impressive collection of meticulously curated articles on the lives and accomplishments of Muslim women icons of India.
