In the paper, ‘feminist’ refers simply to someone who is aware of the subordinate social position of women in his/her society and attempts to do something to reduce the gender inequity. Even from this definition, it is evident that Khadijah and Fatimah would not see eye to eye as to the evaluation of the women’s situation in this country as well as appropriate means to rectify it, hence the interest in comparing them. The only one common point that they share is that both of them had occupied the position of Ketua Kaum Ibu of UMNO, from 1954-56 for Khadijah Sidek and 1956-1972 for Fatimah Hashim respectively.  Publication: 4th International Malaysian Studies Conference; 3-5 August 2004, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi.  Author: Ting, Helen.
