Savitribai Phule
Indian educater and social reformer (1831–1898)
Summary
Savitribai Phule was an Indian educator, social reformer, and poet, widely regarded as the first Indian female teacher. Along with her husband, Jyotiba Phule, she took a pivotal role in advancing women's rights and education in Maharashtra, leaving a legacy that continues to influence social reform movements across India. She is also considered a front runner of India's feminist movement. She worked to abolish discrimination and the unfair treatment of people based on caste and gender. Savitribai Phule and her husband were trailblazers in women's education in India. In 1848, they established their first school for girls at the residence of Tatyasaheb Bhide, known as Bhide Wada in Pune. Later, she co-founded the Satyashodhak Samaj in 1873 and led its women's wing.
