Indian women's history is full of pioneers who have broken gender barriers and worked hard for their rights and made progress in the field of politics, arts, science, law etc.

We bring you a list of 'First Indian Women', noting the first time an Indian woman achieved something:

Mother Teresa:

She became the first Indian woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation, giving her life to social work.

Indira Gandhi:

She became the first woman Prime Minister of India and served from 1966 to 1977. Indira Gandhi was named as the 'Woman of the Millennium' in a poll which was organised by BBC in 1999. In 1971, she became the first woman to receive the Bharat Ratna award.
