Ayesha Iman of Nigeria - She is an avid defender of womens rights in Muslim laws and practices, and particularly for her work against the discriminatory and restrictive forms that the new Sharia Criminal laws in Nigeria have taken. She is the 2002 recipient of the John Humphrey Freedom Award presented to her by the BAOBAB for Womens Human Rights. Her work with BAOBAB also supports women to fight or redress rights violations (i.e. forced marriages, domestic violence, custody and guardianship rights for their children, etc.)

 Well, Cahaya. You seem to be doing a very good job of representing Muslim women in AE, so I consider you to be the woman Muslim leader here!

I understood you before, Cahaya. I just thought that, since you could not think of any woman in your country, you should represent the typical Malaysian muslim woman here at "AE". It was a joke!

Yes, I believe he is referring to Ciller Tansu, the once Prime Minister of Turkey (who was not very popular)!

Here's one, Cahaya: As of Monday, March 19th, 2007, a dental consultant became the first woman to hold the rank of Brigadier-General in the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF). Dr. Roshidah Ishak received the Brigadier-Generals star at a special event. She was also the first Malaysian woman to hold the rank of Colonel in 1988. Here is a quote from her: "I feel proud and touched by the conferment of the rank and I hope this conferment can encourage other women members (in the MAF) to be more inspired in carrying out their duties.Dr. Roshidah Ishak

Tansu iller
Tansu iller (IPA: /ˈtɑn.su.ˈtʃil.lɛɹ/ (born 9 October 1946) is an economist and politician in Turkey. She was Turkey's first and to date only female prime minister. She was born in Istanbul and graduated from the School of Economics at Robert College after finishing the American College for Girls of Istanbul. iller received her Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut and completed later on her postdoctoral studies at Yale University. In 1978, she became a lecturer and in 1983 a professor. After teaching at several universities as a professor, she entered politics in November 1990 joining the True Path Party. She was first elected to parliament in 1991 as deputy of Istanbul and served as Minister of State in charge of economics in the coalition government of Suleyman Demirel. On June 13, 1993, she became party leader and then prime minister of a coalition government. The withdrawal of the Republican People's Party from coalition in 1996 brought down her government. She was investigated in the Turkish Parliament on serious corruption accusations following her period in government. Along with Mesut Yılmaz she was later cleared for all the charges mainly due to technicalities such as statue of limitation and political immunity. Many in Turkey believe that such charges played an important role in the emergence of political Islam in Turkey, that eventually led to the victory of the present government of Recep T. Erdoğan. After the election defeat in November 2002, she retired from political life. She is married to zer iller and they have two children. |

She could be the oldest Muslim Woman leader so far in this thread - She's Al-Khayzuran bint Atta - one of the Yemeni concubines of the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mahdi. She held great power over the young Harun Al-Rashid. She died in 789 and is believed to have been the key inspiration behind that character of Scheherazade in Arabian Nights. ...There's also Roxana - the wife of Suleyman the magnificent (one of the most famous Ottoman Sultans around roughly 1550). She was the first offical "wife" of an Ottoman sultan rather than concubine. She killed off many of Suleyman's previous children (such as Cihangir, who she hired a deaf, blind and dumb mute to strange, so they say...) and held an extraordinary amount of power in the court. She was the first recognized "Sultina" of the Ottoman empire.

Spray-of-Pearls the first sultanah of the mamluke dynasty. After her husbands (the last Ayyobid sultan of Egypt) death just before the battle with the crusader Louis the Pious's army, she was elected sultan(ah) by the mamlukes.
She led the muslims to victory over the crusader army and later married Aibek. But of course the muslim woman leader is the Mother of Believers, the prophets wife Aisha (pbuh). |

Well Afghanistan has seen many like Nazo Ana (mother of the founder of Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Baba), Malalai (motivator of the freedom fighters in the victorous Battle of Maiwand) and recently after the regim of Taliban where the rights of women was demolished and women was not even permissioned to study, comes a brave lady by the name of Malalai Joya.
She is the lady who has taken stance infront of the cruel warlords, women and human rights abusers and the drug mafia who have a strong grip over the country.
She is a member of Afghan Parliment and due to her controversial statements against the warlords, she is known as a shame to Afghan women by the warlord, who themselves don't know that she is not a shame to Afghan women but they themselves are shame for the pride of the word AFGHAN.
More about her could be found here.
