Article
Mahadevi Varma (26 March 1907 – 11 September 1987) was an Indian Hindi-language poet, essayist, and short-story writer. She is regarded as one of the four major pillars of the Chhayavaad movement in Hindi literature.
Between 1930 and her death in 1987, Varma published seven collections of poetry along with several works of prose, including essays and speeches, with her final poetry collection published posthumously. Her writings reflect experiences from both pre- and post-Partition India, as well as her involvement in social reform, particularly in support of the women's liberation movement.
