This paper examines the Islamic-political genealogy of Fatayat. In the early era, Fatayat was vacuum since the government controlled all organizations. Fatayat then decided to collaborate with government to implement governments programs. In the late era, Fatayat started the existence in term of promoting women empowerment in Indonesia. With support from many national and international organizations, Fatayat began promoting women issues particularly in political sphere. In many cases, Fatayat depended on NU as Fatayats patron organization. Although there are many opposite opinions between NU and Fatayat, Fatayat never gives up to negotiate and finding the right solution. In term of politics, Fatayat still depends on NU, even though Fatayat is the autonomous organization. Moreover, the successful Fatayat in term of political movement in the present era is also the contribution from Soekarnos government.
