The First Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru said, " You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women". This is absolutely true. Woman of the nation is the mirror to its civilization.
These female personalities are not just the rulers, freedom fighters and the like who are figured in the list of must read biographies in this comprehensive reference book. The list also includes famous Indian laureates and scientists, spiritual leaders and contemporary political leaders, as well as film stars & sports personalities.
The book is a humble approach to compile life sketches of great Indian women in different fields, so as to act as a source of inspiration and motivation for each individual to excel in the field of activity they are related with.
The biographies of Famous Indian women have been written and rewritten not only to glorify their great deeds, but also to provide great inspirational tales of achievement, sacrifice, courage, commitment and all those exemplary qualities that made them as famed as they are. India is a country that has produced innumerable-countless women who have served great purposes and are written about in the history books.
The list as mentioned is beyond count, yet there are some of them who are placed on bookshelves and regarded as precious gems of Indian history. Some of them belong to the age when India was ruled by the kings and few queens who managed to gain the throne. And these vastly read biographies include those of the rulers themselves, as well as certain personalities who added to the value of that particular rule.
The status of women in India has been subject to many great changes over the past few millennia. From a largely unknown status in ancient times through the low points of the medieval period, to the promotion of equal rights by many reformers, the history of women in India has been eventful.
