As we mark 16 years since the first National Girl Child Day, a lot has changed. Indian women have gained better access to education, nutrition and opportunities that let them step out of home. They have a firmer grasp over their rights. But the idea of womanhood—of anything feminine being inferior—prevails, despite centuries of female changemakers shaping history.

This quiz aims to celebrate unconventional knowledge about women, with 20 questions that take you through famous names, moments and terms linked to the feminine experience. To get your final score, make sure to attempt the full set. Some quiz questions are as MCQs, while others may need you to type out the answer. The average score is 11/20 so far. Can you beat it?
