This work is an attempt at dispelling any misconception by bringing into focus biographies of the first generation of Muslim women, and the important role they played in the overall development of their society, right from the beginning.

The life sketches of the early female believers, in this book, stand as a beacon and call for the revival of the lofty, high position of women in the society once again.
