A woman walks through a hospital ward

Sadhnatai Amte, Baba Amte's wife and co-worker, walks through the leprosy ward at the Anandwan Hospital.

Always by Baba's side, Sadhnatai Amte recently published her autobiography. She said to Baba when he wanted to abandon worldly pursuits and start MSS, 'You must follow the dictate of your heart. I shall find my happiness in following you.' Decades later she would tell a large public gathering, called to felicitate her, that had there been a women's liberation movement in her time Anandwan might never have happened!
