I don't know quite what Pakistan's cultural norms are, but I suspect that being female, the "youngest MCP" thing may have been even that much more remarkable.
Keep in mind Pakistan had a female prime minister many years ago.
Don't forget that that same prime minister was brutally assassinated when she tried to return to her country. And she was kicked out forcibly, had to live in exile for many years. A remarkable woman. The movie "Bhutto" about her life is well worth seeing.
