Savitribai Phule (1831-1897) is a seminal figure in Indian history, recognized as a pioneering social reformer who fought for the rights of women and marginalized communities, and made substantial progress in the promotion of girls’ education. Her pioneering endeavors established the groundwork for contemporary educational methodologies that prioritize women’s empowerment. Despite the advancements made over the years, there are still numerous obstacles to females’ education in modern-day India. This article highlights the enduring significance of Savitribai Phule’s contributions, analyzing her impact on societal perceptions of girls’ education, pedagogy, and policy, as well as the ongoing challenges to attaining gender equity in education.
