Savitri Bai Phule - The life of Savitribai, wife of Jotirao (or Jotiba, as he is fondly known in Marathi) Phule is a tale of great sacrifice and courage. Born on 3 January 1831 in a relatively well-to-do peasant family, Savitri grew to become the first woman from Maharashtra to contribute to revolutionizing ways of medieval thinking. Her life and work had many dimensions and continue more than a century after her death to inspire generations, not only of women but of dispossessed of all castes and communities.
Homai Vyarawala - In the 1940s, when the nation was going through turmoil and the profession of journalism was dominated by men, a women photographer rose to prominence on nothing except the merit of her work. She was Homai Vyarawalla, the first female photojournalist of India, who would not just make history, but document it too.
Gauri Lankesh - Journalist and activist Gauri Lankesh was shot dead in front of her house in South Bengaluru. After her death, nationwide protests had erupted demanding speedy justice for her.
