Fatima Jinnah is inspiration and example of millions of women around the globe. In a society where women are not given that much freedom whether it is their domestic right or in public sector or government, Fatima Jinnah is an example that you can fight for your rights being a women, you have the right to freedom of speech, you have the right to breath and right to live. You just have to strive hard a bit, and see the fruit of your hard-work.
Fatima Jinnah strongly believed in two - nation theory, which states that Muslim and Hindus belong to two different nations. Even after living with each other for so many years and under the rule of same government, peaceful and good connections weren't created with among with each other
Because of her efforts and the efforts other Muslim leaders, Muslims are now able to breath freely and now we can live indvidually and collectively according to our Islamic teachings, while other minorities were also given rights to live according to their religious teachings and they can willingly go to their religious place without the fear of being killed.
Palestine is the biggest example, where Muslims are not given the freedom, their houses are being destroyed, cruel Israelis kill Palestinians everyday and Muslims are not given the freedom to go to masjid Al aqsa and other mosques.
You have the right to get education, you have the right to live, you have the right to BREATH as a woman.
