Freedom fighters · Education & reform · 1831–1897
Savitribai Phule
Pioneer of girls' schooling in India. Taught when society threw mud and abuse at a woman who opened a classroom door.
With Jyotirao Phule she built schools for girls and for children pushed out by caste. Literacy as liberation.
Every exam-leak fight today sits downstream of that older fight: education must belong to the many, not the gatekeepers.
Why on this wall
Education access against social tyranny.
