Wikipedia description:
Sukumari Bhattacharji (12 July 1921 – 24 May 2014) was a Sanskrit scholar, author (Bengali and English), and indologist. Born in Kolkata, Bhattacharji initially studied English due to scholarship restrictions but later pursued a master's degree in Sanskrit privately. She joined Jadavpur University as a professor and was known for her proficiency in multiple languages. Bhattacharji's most notable work, The Indian Theogony: A Comparative Study of Indian Mythology from the Vedas to the Puranas, was based on her doctoral thesis and published by Cambridge University Press. As a social activist, she co-founded the non-profit organization Sachetana in 1982 to aid underprivileged girls. Historian Romila Thapar regarded Bhattacharji as one of the foremost indologists of her time.
