Abstract

We have heard about women Scholars like Maitreyi and Gargi during later vedic period in ancient Indian history. In modern India many women leaders were active participators of freedom struggle like Captain Laxmi Sehgal, Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, Nellie Sengupta, Sucheta Kriplani, Kasturba Gandhi, Annie Besant and many more. Unfortunately our history and our history books forgot to highlight the role of women constitution makers. The present Paper is an effort to bring out the contributions of women constituent assembly members like Ammu Swaminathan, Annie Mascarene, Begaum AizazRasul, Sarojini Naidu and many others who contributed for the making of Indian Constitution.
