Abstract

Survival of a nation lies in equal contribution of men and women in social, economic and cultural progress and prosperity. Women were deprived of their fundamental rights. As a reaction, women initiated a movement called Feminism for their rights in Europe in the nineteenth century. Molvi Mumtaz Ali started a publishing firm, Dar-ul-Ishaiat-i-Punjab at Lahore in 1898. Its publications especially weekly magazine "Tehzeeb-un-Niswan" played a vital role in the movement of feminism in the sub-continent. It inspired women to write articles on their various issues and rights. Their writings were published in Tahzib-un-Niswan. It motivated women to contribute writing journals, articles, novels, housekeeping manuals, cook books, books of etiquette, prose and poetry
