Sister Subbalakshmi, Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, and Keshub Chandra Sen were all prominent figures in promoting women’s education and social reform in colonial India.
Sister Subbalakshmi was an educational reformer, particularly known for her work related to widow remarriage and women’s education in South India. Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain was a pioneering feminist writer and social worker from Bengal who established schools for girls. Keshub Chandra Sen, a leader of the Brahmo Samaj, advocated for various social reforms including the education of women. Ananda Coomaraswamy was a distinguished historian of Indian art and culture, but his primary focus was not on educational reform movements in India.
