The Steel Rose, Biography of Fatima Jinnah
Fatima Jinnah, a trailblazing dentist turned fierce political activist, stands at the crossroads of history as British India fractures into two nations. Known as *Madar-e-Millat* (Mother of the Nation), she is more than just the sister of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah—she is his confidante, his fiercest defender, and later, his greatest mourner.
But behind the public persona lies a woman battling loneliness, societal expectations, and political betrayals. As she witnesses the birth of Pakistan, she must also navigate the shadows of power, where men who once revered her brother now sideline her. Years later, in 1965, she emerges from political silence to challenge a military dictator, risking everything for democracy.
This novel is a sweeping saga of love for a brother, devotion to a nation, and the quiet resilience of a woman history nearly forgot.
