After independence, many prominent ladies worked hard in the nation- building a program to consolidate the newly born state. Some of those prominent ladies who strived to bring to Social and Political awaking among the women were Begum Rana Liaquat Ali Khan, Fatima Jinnah, Nusrat Bhutto and Muhtrama Benazir Bhutto etc.This paper reflects a brief review of the services rendered by the Sindhi women in the development of the restored province of  Sindh in general and women’s rights in particular.
