Question:

Identify the author of the book 'Stree Purush Tulana.'

Options:

Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hussain

Sarojini Naidu

Savitri Phule

Tarabai Shinde

Correct Answer:

Tarabai Shinde

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Tarabai Shinde

Stree Purush Tulana (or Comparison of Men and Women) was written by a Maharashtrian housewife, Tarabai Shinde, as a protest against the double standards of a male dominated society. A young Brahmin widow had been sentenced to death by the courts for killing her newborn baby because it was illegitimate, but no effort had been made to identify or punish the man who had fathered the baby. Stree Purush Tulana created quite a stir when it was published.
