Chandramukhi Basu

Chandramukhi Basu was an influential figure in the history of women's education in India, renowned for being one of the first female graduates in British India.

Her studies in political economy at a time when women were rarely allowed higher education played a vital role in inspiring future generations of women to pursue academic and professional aspirations.
