RUKHMABAI (The Life and Times of a Child Bride Turned Rebel Doctor) BY SUDHIR CHANDRA
Who would have thought that this serene-looking saree-clad woman would revolutionise the world of medicine and fight patriarchy one day? An eleven-year-old Rukhmabai was married to a 19-year-old Dadaji as a child bride. She later refused to cohabit with him after coming of age, which was against the norms of the olden days. What started as a personal divorce proceeding turned into a full-blown struggle against the entire orthodoxical society.
