The general misconception about women politicians is that they were just silent spectators and very few women participated in the parliament, raising voice on women issues only. Those women who became members of the National Assembly on reserved seats were mere rubber stamps in the hands of their male counterparts, having neither knowledge nor experience to make any qualitative contribution. In addition, the books related to political history of the country also never ever mentioned the role of women parliamentarians in the politics of Pakistan. There is a plethora of material related to women parliamentarians’ contribution in Pakistani politics in the libraries of the parliament of Pakistan in the form of Official Reports of National Assembly and Senate Debates which is necessitated to be explored. The present study has been done to explore and bring to the knowledge of one and all, the performance of the women parliamentarians in Pakistani politics particularly from 1970 to 1988 along with the background which delves into the political contribution of women during the freedom movement, Pakistan movement and their role in the politics of Pakistan till 1970. This study explores how women have been performing an indispensable role more than proportionate to their numbers in the national legislature of Pakistan on both general and reserved seats since 1947, particularly during 1970-1988. They had taken up a broad spectrum of issues and demonstrated their awareness of matters in discussion and debates. The performance of some women parliamentarians was beyond comparison. It is because of their countless efforts and struggle that the Pakistani women got jobs in almost all the spheres of life and more space in the parliament of Pakistan.
