Savitribai : journey of a traiblazer / Leah Verghese; Ranjna and Medha Sundar.

This graphic novel is an attempt to take the reader through Savitribai's life, her ideas and thinking which shaped the very visible and impactful work she accomplished along with Jotirao. Obtaining an education after being married at the age of 9, Savitribai went on to become one of the first few women teachers in India. Together, the couple then started a school for girls (widely considered the first such school for girls) - a space of empowerment and equality, where no discrimination was allowed room and the running of which succeeded despite opposition from every quarter. These pathbreaking ventures were but the beginnings of further work driven by selfless devotion to service of the oppressed and destitute, and a vision of equality, fairness, and justice. They believed that education is the remedy for backward thinking and for creating equal opportunities.
