Early life and educationSarabhai was born in Ahmedabad on 11 November 1885 into the Sarabhai family, a family of industrialists and business people. Both her parents died when she was nine, so she, her brother Ambalal Sarabhai, and a younger sister were sent to live with an uncle.[2] She undertook an unsuccessful child marriage at the age of 13.[2] With the help of her brother, she went to England in 1912 to take a medical degree, but switched to the London School of Economics when she realised the animal dissection involved in obtaining a medical degree was in violation of her Jain beliefs.[2] Whilst in England, she was influenced by the Fabian Society, and got involved in the Suffragette movement.[3] Political careerSarabhai returned to India in 1913[4] and started working for betterment of women and the poor. She also started a school. She decided to get involved in the labour movement after witnessing exhausted female mill workers returning home after a 36-hour shift. She helped organise textile workers in a 1914 strike in Ahmedabad. She was also involved in a month-long strike in 1918, where weavers were asking for a 50 per cent increase in wages and were being offered 20 per cent. Mahatma Gandhi, a friend of the family, was by then acting as a mentor to Sarabhai.[3] Gandhi began a hunger strike on the workers' behalf, and the workers eventually obtained a 35 per cent increase. During the time, Sarabhai organized daily mass meetings of the workers that Gandhi addressed.[5] Following this, in 1920, the Ahmedabad Textile Labour Association (Majdoor Mahajan Sangh) was formed.[1] Legacy and deathSarabhai was called Motaben, Gujarati for "elder sister".[3] She mentored Ela Bhatt, founder of the Self-Employed Women's Association of India (SEWA).[6] Sarabhai died in 1972.[6] On 11 November 2017, Google celebrated Sarabhai's 132nd birthday with a Google Doodle,[7] visible to users in India.[8] Anasuya Sarabhai was the aunt of Indian scientist Vikram Sarabhai who is regarded as the father of the Indian space program.[9] See also
