Explanation

Kittur Chennamma was the queen of Kittur who led an armed rebellion against the British East India Company in 1824 in response to the Doctrine of Lapse, decades before the 1857 uprising. She is recognized as one of the first female independence activists. Sarojini Naidu (later), Matangini Hazra (1942), and Annie Besant (earlier period) were all significant freedom fighters but not the first armed female rebel against the Doctrine of Lapse.
