Two Women. One Mission. | Ep 48

from India A Story in the Making with Loveena Tandon · host Loveena Tandon

In 1919, as India stood on the edge of revolution, another quieter struggle was unfolding the fight for women to be heard, to be counted, to vote.  This episode tells the remarkable story of Herabai and Mithan Tata, a mother and daughter who travelled from India to London, studied at the London School of Economics, and stood at the heart of a global movement for women’s rights.  At a time when the future of India was being debated in British Parliament, they ensured one thing was clear, women would not be left out.  Filmed between Parliament Square and LSE, this episode explores a powerful, often forgotten connection: how Indian and British women were part of the same struggle, shaping each other’s fight for equality across borders.  Featuring insights from LSE archivist Lisa McQuillan, we uncover the documents, the voices, and the legacy of two women whose impact is still felt today.  Because the fight for women’s rights was never just one nation’s story, it was always universal.  FULL EPISODE HERE:  📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@loveenatandonproductions  🎙️ Podcast – Smart Link: https://bingepods.com/podcast/podcast-rn7moe  💬 Join Our Discord Community: https://discord.gg/p2UYt9uV5d    Learn more about your ad choices.
