Who among the following was India's first Woman Chief Minister ?

Sucheta Kripalani was India's first woman Chief Minister, serving as the head of the Uttar Pradesh government from October 2, 1963, to March 13, 1967 [1]. A prominent freedom fighter and member of the Constituent Assembly, she was elected as the leader of the Congress Legislative Party in Uttar Pradesh after defeating Kamalapati Tripathi [2]. While other options include notable women leaders, they held different roles: Sarojini Naidu was the first woman Governor of an Indian state (Uttar Pradesh), and Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit was a distinguished diplomat and the first woman President of the UN General Assembly. Sucheta Kripalani's tenure was marked by her firm administration, particularly during the 62-day state employees' strike. She remained the only woman Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh until Mayawati took office in 1995.
