Savitribai Phule
Savitribai Jyoti Phule [3 January
1831 -10 march 1897] was an
Indian social reformer,
educationalist and poet from
Maharashtra. Along with her
husband , in Maharashtra, she
played an important and vital role
in improving women's rights in
India. She is considered to be the
pioneer of India's feminist
movement . She is known for the
“first female teacher of India ”
Savitribai Phule was the youngest daughter
of Lakshmi and Khanduri encase Patil,
she had three siblings. Savitribai was
married to her husband JYOTI Rao phale
at the age of 9 .since they had no kids
they adopted their own. Girls in those
days were forced to get married since
then Savitr Ibai being a girl child of 9year
had no option rather than marriage
Early life
Problem faced
 The life of Savitribai Phule and Jyotiba Phule is a saga of
great sacrifice and courage. To truly gauge the
magnitude of Savitribai’s contributions, we need to
understand the social conditions of her time. Phule’s lived
in Pune, home of the most reactionary regime in India at
the time. It was described as the ‘place of darkness’. The
Phule’s challenged and fought all these orthodox and
reactionary ideologies, in thought and action. Most of us
know Savitribai Phule as India's first female teacher, who
helped her husband Jyotirao Phule establish the first
school for girls. But here's the tale of the atrocities and
abuses she had to face when she started to work. When it
was obvious that simple words and rumors wouldn’t help
deter Savitribai and Jyotirao from their goal of providing
education to girls, society decided to take another path.
Going to the girls’ school to teach became a giant ordeal
for Savitribai. She faced innumerable abuses and listened
to obscenities heaped on her on the way to teach.
Lalitha Dhara writes about
how a well-built ruffian
stood in her path and told
her that if she did not stop
educating the Mahar's and
Mangs, she would have to
pay a heavy prize. A crowd
gathered to watch the
drama unfold, but none
helped her. The unfazed
Savitribai slapped him
hard. The stunned man ran
away, and so did the
onlookers. The shocking
news spread like wildfire
all over the city of Pune
and finally brought a stop
to the every-day abuse.
Groups of orthodox men followed the first female teacher of India on
her way to work. They threw rotten eggs, cow dung,
tomatoes, and stones. They abused her in obscene ,
language. Once, she couldn’t take it anymore and decided to give up.
But her husband convinced her to stay strong. However, things got out
of hand.
 Savitribai was subject to intense harassment
everyday. However, She relentlessly fought against
the dominant caste system and worked towards the
upliftment of the marginalized. She demanded dignity
for all women, for which she, along with her husband
Jyotirao Phule worked their entire lives. Her husband
washer strength, it could be fairly portrayed how both
of them supported each other. Once, when the
everyday abuses got out of hand and Savitri lost her
courage to some extent. Her husband gave her two
sarees, a course one to wear on the way to work
which would be soiled by the garbage thrown at her;
another fresh saree to change into before she started
work when she reached the school. While returning,
she could change into the same course saree to again
take the filth from society.
How she overcome her problems
 She continued in this manner for a while, but
Retired academician Lalitha Dhara who has
authored several books on the Phule's and Dr.
Ambedkar writes: She would stop by and politely
tell them, “My brothers, I am doing the noble job
of educating your sisters. The cow dung and
stones that you are pelting on me are not a
deterrent, but rather an inspiration for me. It is
as if you are showering petals on me. While I vow
to serve my sisters, I also pray, 'May God bless
you.’ Empowered, Savitribai Phule established
herself and more schools for women and girls till
she was honored for her exemplary work by the
British government.
Husband Support And Contribution
 Phule, along with B. R. Ambedkar and Annabhau Sathe
has become an iconic figure for the upliftment of
backward classes.
 The first ‘Satyashodhak’(no-dowry)marriage was
initiated by Savitribai.
 Phule is the founder of India’s first school for girls
called Bhide Wada in Pune in 1948.
 Savitribai Phule is one of the first published women in
modern India. Her poems like “Kavya Phule” and
“Bavan Kashi Subodh Ratnakar” were published in
1934 and 1982 respectively .
 She advocated and spread values such as humanism,
liberty, equality, brotherhood, and the importance of
education in society.
Achievements
WHAT SHE IS KNOWN FOR
First female teacher
Build well for untouchables
Took care of child Widow
Conclusion
 Savitribai being the first female teacher left a
great impact on girls education because of her
great efforts today women's are able to prove the
gender equality
 Although there are still some backward area
where the mentality regarding girl child education
is very poor but because of her revolutionary
actions in her eighteens now girl child has been
considered to be the primitive thing.
 She even took care of untouchables and child
marriage.
 At last let`s conclude this by saying all her
contribution and struggle which she faced was
endless.
