Before Islam, women were marginalized with no rights. Islam came more than 1400 years ago to restore women as an integral part of the society. Islam gave women their rights and responsibilities the same way men were given rights and responsibilities.
“O mankind! Reverence your Lord, Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate, and from the two has spread abroad a multitude of men and women. Reverence God, through Whom you demand your rights of one another and family relations.” Quran Chapter 4 Verse 1. Women

Anousheh Ansari was the “First Female Private Space Explorer& First Space Ambassador” in year 2006.
