Who is Benazir Bhutto from Benazir Bhutto: From Prison to Prime Minister and what is their importance?

Benazir Bhutto (1953-2007) was the first female leader of a Muslim state in history and, at thirty-five, one of the youngest world leaders of her day. Bhutto is the subject of the brief biography, Benazir Bhutto: From Prison to Prime Minister, and so is easily the most important person in the book. Bhutto grew up in a privileged Pakistani family. Her father was a major force in Pakistan politics, serving both as the foreign minister and commerce minister before becoming Prime Minister.
