Political career


In 1918, she successfully moved the All India Muslim Women’s Conference to pass a resolution against polygamy.[3] In 1935, she founded the Punjab Provincial Women’s Muslim League.[3] In the Round Table Conference of 1930, she and Radhabai Subbarayan were the only two active members of women's organisations nominated to the conference; they argued unsuccessfully for a 5 per cent reservation for women in the legislatures.[4]


In 1937, she was elected to the Punjab Legislative Assembly and was appointed as Parliamentary Secretary for Education, Medical Relief and Public Health.[3] In 1938 she became a member of the Women’s Central Subcommittee of the All India Muslim League.[3] In 1942 India's government appointed her as a member of the National Defense Council, but the Muslim League asked League members to resign from the Defense Council.[3] She refused and was thus removed from the Muslim League.[3] However, she rejoined the League in 1946, and in that same year was elected to the Central Constituent Assembly.[1][3] That year she also went along with M. A. Ispahani on a goodwill mission to America, to explain the point of view of the Muslim League.[3] She was arrested along with other Muslim League leaders during the Civil disobedience movement in Punjab in 1947.[3]


In 1948, she led a protest of thousands of women in the streets of Lahore, protesting against the fact that a bill encouraging better economic opportunities for women had been removed from the agenda.[5] Prime minister Liaquat Ali Khan intervened, and the Muslim Personal Law of Shariat of 1948 was passed; it legally recognized a woman's right to inherit property, including agricultural land, which had not been recognized during British rule of Pakistan.[5]


She was president of the provincial branch of the All India Muslim Women’s Conference for seven years, and also served as vice-president of the Central Committee of the All India Muslim Women’s Conference.[3]


She was the first woman in Asia to preside over a legislative session.[6] She attended a Round Table Conference with Radhabai Subbarayan, and they were the only active members of women's organizations who were nominated to the conference.[4]


She was also associated with the education and orphanage committees of the Anjuman-i-Himayat-i-Islam, in Lahore, and with several hospitals, as well as maternity and child welfare committees.[3] She was a member of the All Indian General Committee of the Red Cross Society.[3]


She wrote a novel titled Husn Ara Begum and her memoirs titled Father and Daughter: a political autobiography.[7][8][9] She also wrote for women's and literary magazines.[7]


Begum Shahnawaz had three children: Ahmad Shahnawaz, a medical doctor, Nasim Shahnawaz (Nasim Jahan), who married General Akbar Khan and later became a politician of the Pakistan Peoples Party, and Mumtaz Shahnawaz, who died in a plane crash in 1948 while on her way to the United Nations.[10]
