Stories about what women build when they build together.
Savitribai Phule

She opened India's first school for girls — while villagers threw stones at her.
Sudha Murthy
1950–present · Shiggaon, Karnataka, India
She applied for a job at Tata Motors with a postcard. The job board said "for men only." She didn't care.
Wangari Maathai

She planted 47 million trees and won the Nobel Peace Prize. She started with a shovel and 7 women.
Fatima Sheikh

She opened her home as India's first school for girls — and history forgot her name for 150 years.
Ela Bhatt
