Abstract	The making of the Indian Constitution is often remembered for the leadership of figures like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Sardar Patel. However, the role of women in this nation-building process remains equally significant. The Indian Constituent Assembly, formed in 1946, was composed of representatives from across the country and was responsible for drafting the Constitution until 1949. Its members were not directly elected by the people; instead, they were chosen indirectly by the provincial assemblies, whose own members had been elected through an indirect process under the Government of India Act of 1935 during the 1937 provincial elections. Although only 15 out of 299 total members were women, they made significant contributions to the framing of the Constitution and strongly championed women’s rights. These Fifteen remarkable women came from diverse backgrounds—freedom fighters, social reformers, educationists, writers, and activists who shared a common vision of justice, equality, and dignity.
Keywords	Women, Indian Constitution, Constituent Assembly, Provincial elections, Government of India Act 1935.
