Famous Women in Sikhism
The first woman to be remembered in Sikhism is Mata Tripta Ji, the mother of the first and founding guru, Guru Nanak. She is said to have meditated while carrying the child Nanak in her womb, and to have brought him up with love and tender care, while attempting to protect him from his father Mehta Kalu's undue wrath.
Another famous woman is Bebe Nanaki Ji, the elder and only sister of Guru Nanak. She is a highly intelligent, spiritually awake, and pious lady who recognised the divine light in her brother and envisaged his mission of life before anyone else could perceive it; she did not treat him just as a brother but also respected him as she would a Guru, supporting him throughout her life.History

At something dull; fathers had never known
Success so huge and wholly farcical;
The women shared
The secret like a happy funeral;”
