Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto (1953-2007) served as Prime Minister twice, from 1988-1990 and 1993-1996. She was the first woman to head a democratic government in a Muslim majority country. Her controversial tenure was highlighted by advocacy for women’s rights, civilian control of the military and accusations of political corruption. Going into self-exile in the late 1990s, Bhutto returned to Pakistan to compete in the 2008 elections but was assassinated on December 27, 2007.
