Hijab Imtiaz Ali (1908–1999) was a writer, editor and diarist. She is a well known name in Urdu literature and a pioneer of romanticism in Urdu.[1] She is also considered as the first female Muslim pilot after she obtained her official pilot license in 1936, although Zuleykha Seyidmammadova from Soviet Azerbaijan had qualified as a pilot two years earlier, in 1934.[2][3][4]
