Description:

Almost 200 years ago in India, one's rights depended entirely on birth — different rules for men and women, for different castes. Savitribai Phule refused to accept this. As India's first female teacher, she fought fiercely for one bold idea: dignity and education for everyone. With her mother-in-law Sagunabai and her dear friend Fatima Sheikh by her side, she faced abuse and rejection to open schools for girls, widows, and the oppressed. This inspiring, well-researched biography brings alive the courage of three women who changed India forever — a powerful story of grit, sisterhood, and the fight for equal rights.
