The kind of women I wish to bow down before...:)

Am not afraid to be portrayed as a self-declared feminist, who wants to put an end to male dominance of any kind. Am inclined towards making this society equally accessible to both the sexes and rule out every possibility of existence of the "dominant sex".
There was an age where women were considered fit to be managing the household work alone. They were not included in the internal discussions of their families nor were they allowed to meet their friends. They did not have freedom of thought, word, or speech. Severe restrictions were imposed on them at every stage of their life. Slowly the societal pressure over women started to ease. Thanks to the role education played in sharpening the minds of people. The economically forward classes of the society understood the necessity of education and the need to impart education to women. Partly because of the British invasion of India??
Well...thats not what I wish to speak about.. Now its about the exceptional women who made a mark in their respective fields ..

Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy

Born in an era when education was not considered to be a woman's cup of tea, Dr. Muthulakshmi scaled remarkable heights by becoming one of the first female doctors of our nation. A recipient of the prestigious Padma Bhushan, she played a poignant role in establishing an hospital for the cancer patients in India. The Cancer Institute located at Adyar, Chennai is a brain child of this great social reformer. Dr. Muthulakshmi was also part of the Tamilnadu legislature. She played an eminent role towards removing the Devadasi system that prevailed in the country and also for raising the minimum age of marriage for women.

Sudha Narayanamurty

Wife of one of the most renowned personality of India, Sudha is indisputably a wonderful person to admire. Born in the Kulkarni family with all the riches one would wish to have , she met Murty a soft spoken guy in Telco. The interlude of how she joined Telco is pretty interesting. Sudha was pursuing her masters in IISc Bangalore. She was the only female doing her masters in computer science in the campus . Sudha happened to see an advertisement from Telco inviting male candidates to join the firm. This disappointed her. She immediately sent a postcard to JRD Tata and to her surprise she got an immediate response with a sponsored trip to Pune for the interview.Sudha for the first woman employee of Telco.

Now she is part of many philanthropic activities and social service in Karnataka.
