“An answer to all those who criticise this amazing woman”

Born at a time when women were not allowed to study or work, Dr Muthulakshmi Reddy, not only overcame numerous barriers to become a doctor, but also championed many social reforms. However, she was not spared from criticism from modern day activists.
