thanks

Answer
Dear Pranav:

You haven't asked me a question so there's nothing for me to answer. Also, you have a typo where you refer to the "nth century." I have no idea what that century is.

I have no knowledge of Indian women but if you wrote again fixing this typo and asking a question, I have a friend in India who might be able to help, but, unfortunately, she doesn't respond quickly to e-mails.

If you're looking for me to recommend some outstanding American and British women of the 19th-21st centuries, I could suggest some women to you. You would then have to research them on google.com and/or your local library.

Best regards,

Sonia
