520 |a This work is about Tan Sri Hajah Zainun Munsyi Sulaiman or better known as Ibu Zain. It covers her biography, personality and contributions particularly in politics, education and publications which played a great role in the independence of Malaysia, The discussion starts with a general description of the role of women during the pre and post independence period of Malaysia, Indeed, the work clearly shows that in building the country, women too played a prominent and significant part. This study provides a full length study of Ibu Zain and the most salient points in her life as well as brief notes on other important figures in Malaysia, For instances, among all contributions, her greatest was in the field of education through which she managed to upgrade the level of confidence, dignity and status of women that was tarnished by the Japanese during occupation. Indeed, she focused on several aspects of this area physical and spiritual as well as theoretical and skills. Interestingly, she used Islamic principles to guide her decisions. This can be seen even in her ideas about school attire. Even in her early involvement in politics, particularly during formal gatherings, she still emphasized the importance of education rather than politics as other politicians'did. She was also involved in the formation of the Kumpulan Ibu Sepakat (United Women's Association) in Johor to fight for the rights of women and improve their condition. As a result of her contributions in numerous fields, she received several accolades and recognition both locally and internationally: she was given the title "Joan of Ark'1 by Utusan Malaysia and in 1947. she was invited by General Aung Sang to inspire the women in Burma and was given the title "Lady of Burma". This work shows that she published in Malay and English with the aim of instilling the importance of education to women and the spirit of independence to all. This study recommends further studies on women's contribution to the development of this country.
