From WikiPedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savitribai_Phule

SavitriBai was born in Naigaon village in Satara district to mother LaxmiBai and father Khandoji Navse Patil, who was the village chief. SavitriBai at a tender age of just nine years was married to JyotiRao Phule (age thirteen) in the year 1840, according to hindu calender the tithi (tithi = date)of their marriage was Falgun Vadhya panchami, Shakey 1765. SavitriBai’s father-in-law, Govindrao Phule, was basically from Phursungi with the last name Khirsagar But the Peshwa gifted him a horticultural land in Pune, because of which he migrated to Pune and started a horticultural business. This was why he acquired the last name Phule (Phul = flower. Many last names in India are acquired due to the family business). SavitriBai’s husband JyotiRao lost his mother at a very young age. His maternal cousin sister Saguna (lovingly called SagunaAau by JyotiRao, Aau=mother) nurtured him. SagunaAau worked as a nanny of a British officer’s son. She therefore understood and was even able to converse in English. She used this knowledge to inspire JyotiRao. JyotiRao was thus attracted towards education. SavitriBai had been given a book by a Christian missionary before her marriage which she brought with her to her in-laws house. This shows the attraction she had for words and books despite being uneducated. SavitriBai setup a school for SagunaAau on 1st May 1847 in a backward community. This was their first school. SagunaAau started teaching there happily and enthusiastically. A year later when a school was started in Bhide Wada in Pune, SagunaAau was called there to teach. The first school had stopped working abruptly due to lack of acceptability for education for lower caste people in those days.

She worked relentlessly for the victims of plague, where she organized camps for poor children. It is said that she used to feed two thousand children every day during the epidemic. She herself was struck by the disease while nursing a sick child and died on 10 March 1897.

Savitribai's poems and other writings are still an inspiration to others. Two books of her poems were published, Kavya Phule in 1934 and Bavan Kashi Subodh Ratnakar in 1982. Recently theMaharashtra government started an award in her name for Women Who Work Social Causes.
Jotiba and Savitribai opposed idolatry and championed the cause of peasants and workers. Both faced social isolation and vicious attacks from the people whom they questioned. Savitribai's letters give us a good idea about the experiences of women during this social movement. On her death anniversary, a postage stamp was released by the Department of Post and Telegraph.
On March 10, 1998 a stamp was released by Indian post to honour Savitribai's contribution.
Savitribai was a "Vidya Jyoti" for all those who want to do something in the field of education.
