She was a famous surgeon who defied traditional gender roles in Afghanistan, and took on the Taliban.
Suhaila Siddiq, Afghanistan's only female lieutenant general and one of a small number of women to hold a ministerial post in the country, died in hospital on Friday at the age of 72. She had Alzheimer's disease for about six years.
The country's top leaders, medical professionals and women were among those mourning her death.
