The word female empowerment in Bangladesh although has decried for decades, yet there are several female icons who have played instrumental role to transform the society. Not to mention the fact that the country is ruled over by female leaders for almost half of its existence as a sovereign nation. Among those women who have brought Bangladesh in front of the whole world, the name of Dr Rubana Huq dazzles and epitomizes talent and leadership in a versatile form.
