A salute and gesture of respect to a few of the women freedom fighters who were a part of the freedom movement directly or indirectly, however, they didn’t come into the limelight like the other famous freedom fighters like Nehru or Gandhi.
5 WOMEN FREEDOM FIGHTERS WHO DIDN'T COME INTO THE LIMELIGHT

They deserve to be known and we can equally take inspiration from them, learn and take steps in being better people and contributors to the nation. Here is a list of all the women freedom fighters and their contribution to our nation. Take a look!

No 1 - Mahadevi Verma

Mahadevi Verma was born on March 26, 1907, and she died on September 11, 1987. She was known for writing good poetry, was an educationist and a freedom fighter.

She was a major poet of “ Chhayavaad”. She has written a lovely story about cows and this is related to her real-life.

Although Mahadevi Verma directly wasn’t a part of the Allahabad campaign started by Gandhi ji back then. She supported his teachings and did two things for the Freedom Movement. She wore Khadi and stopped talking in English.

By profession, she was a Vice-Chancellor and professor at Prayag Mahila Vidyapeeth. Although the time then didn’t support women’s education, her mother encouraged her to learn Sanskrit and Hindi.

“Bachpan ke din” was Mahadevi Verma’s biography in which she appreciates how her parents supported her at a time when a girl child was considered a burden for the parents. Subhadra Kumari Chauhan was Mahadevi’s roommate and then became her close friend, the two of them wrote poetry together.

When we have to look at her personality, she was the most modest woman. She lived a simple life and it is seen in the way she dressed and what she ate.

She was always found in white clothes, slept on a wooden bed and the fact that she never looked at her face in the mirror shows the gem of a person she was. Perhaps she believed in inner-beauty through good deeds.

The part when she describes peacocks is the best. She has beautifully illustrated it in “Neelkanth”.

No 2 - Basanti Devi
