Solution

The correct option is D Tarabai Shinde
Tarabai Shinde questioned the male-dominated social system and the caste system in India. In 1882, she published a book titled ‘Stripurush Tulana’, which is considered as the first feminist book in India. Meera Kosambi was a sociologist who wrote the ‘Crossing Thresholds : Feminist Essays in Social History’. Dr. Rukhamabai was the first practising female doctor in colonial India.
