write a short note on pandit ramabai

Ramabai never went to school but learnt to read and write from her parents she was given the title 'pandita
​
because she could read and write Sanskrit ,a remarkable achievement as women then were not allowed such knowledge .she went on to set up a mission in khedgaon near Pune in 1898, where widows and poor women were encouraged not only to become literate but to be independent. They were taught a variety of skills from carpentry to running a printing press ,skills that are not usually taught to girls even today.Ramabai's mission is still active today
