Abstract
The paper is a humble attempt to draw insights from the live of a great revolutionary educator, Savitribai Phule
whose mission in life was to support the downtrodden women. She is an inspiration for all women undergoing suffering in
various fields in society. In order to alleviate the position of women, women should get educated. Education was the
prerogative of the elite caste, and to initiate the process of the transformation of society, both men and women should be
educated. The life of Savitribai Phule is an inspiration for the student and the teacher, the parent and the community at
large. With the dynamic backing of her liberal minded husband, Mr Jyotirao Phule, she embarked on a mission to cleanse
society of the age old superstitious evils, which debarred the welfare of the lower caste people. Savitribai encountered
various challenges from the elite class, which she faced with a steadfast determination, and paved the path for the
education of women in India
