Google celebrates 132nd birth anniversary of Anasuya Sarabhai

Google today celebrated with a doodle the 132nd birth anniversary of Anasuya Sarabhai, who played a pioneering role in India’s labour movement.

A feminist and activist, Anasuya was born on November 11, 1885, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. She came from a family of industrialists. She was married for a short period of time when she was an adolescent but in 1912, against social convention at the time, she studied at the London School of Economics where she was influenced by the Suffragette movement.
