For man, the Prophet, Hazrat Mohammad (S.A.W.W), was a perfect example to be followed in all matters of this life.
Allah calls him in the Qur'an "Uswatun Hasana" (CH 33 V 21) or a perfect example. For the Muslim women Hazrat Fatima (S.A) was the perfect example; for says the Prophet (S.A.W.W), 'The best of your men is Ali Ibn Abu Talib and the best of your women is Fatima Bint Muhammad."
This idea is also found in the famous Sunni book "Mustadrak" (the writer was Malik Naishapuri) which reports the Prophet (S.A.W.W) addressing Hazrat Fatima (S.A) as "The leader of the Women of the World, this Ummah and the believing women."
Though she lived a very short life of only eighteen years (some say she lived for twenty eight years) yet she left behind her, excellent examples for Muslim women to follow and thereby lead a pure life.
