Now she emerges. Kasturba Gandhi was wife to an icon of the 20th century, who had disciples such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. But Mahatma Gandhi, the Master of Nonviolence, credited her with teaching him about Nonviolence. A traditional wife and mother, how did she "accidentally" become one of the first women activists in modern history, leading women into streets and prisons for their rights in South Africa and freedom in India, where she is still fondly called "Mother" by millions? What is her connection to women activists today? History missed this story. Written by
