 | | Miss Jinnah accompanied her brother on his numerous tours |
It seems that the thought of doing a biography of her illustrious brother came to Miss Jinnah about the time when Hector Bolitho's "Jinnah Creator of Pakistan" was first published in 1954. It was felt that Bolitho had failed to bring out the political aspects of Jinnah's life in his book. Miss Jinnah started looking for a Pakistani author to do a biography of the Quaid. G. Allana was her choice. G. Allana assisted Miss Jinnah on the assignment but they parted company due to reasons undisclosed. Later both carried on their independent works on Jinnah. Her book "My Brother" was published by the Quaid-i-Azam Academy in 1987.
The people of Pakistan hold Miss Fatima in high esteem. Due to her selfless work for Pakistan, the nation conferred upon her the title of Madar-i-Millat, or "Mother of the Nation". She died in Karachi on July 8, 1967. Some historians indicate that the date of her death was actually July 2, 1967.
