The first woman to hold the office of Prime Minister in a Muslim-majority country was Benazir Bhutto. She served as the Prime Minister of Pakistan first from 1988 to 1990 and then from 1993 to 1996. Bhutto, the daughter of former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was a significant figure in Pakistani politics, advocating for democracy and women's rights. Her leadership broke barriers in a society dominated by patriarchal norms. Despite facing challenges, including political turmoil and her eventual assassination in 2007, Bhutto's legacy continues to inspire many women in politics across the globe.
