Thereโs something quietly assured about Kerala. Tucked between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, this sliver of southern
India is often introduced through images of backwaters, Kathakali masks, or coconut groves. But beneath the surface lies a state that
has consistently questioned, reimagined, and redefined the idea of progress, especially when it comes to women.
This is a place where, in many communities, land was traditionally passed down through the matrilineal line. Where literacy took root
long before it became a national campaign. Where reformers in the 19th century were already advocating for womenโs education,
widow remarriage, and access to public spaces. Kerala was the first state in India to achieve near-universal female literacy and
continues to record some of the highest female life expectancy and maternal health outcomes. The state has been breaking the
glass ceiling, but it doesnโt wear its progressive mindset like a slogan. Yet if you pay attention, youโll see women claiming space
โ at a bus stop, in a classroom, on a stage, or in a village council. Sometimes fiercely, sometimes quietly, always with intent.
This journey through Kerala is designed to honour that spirit.
