Mahadevi Varma is a poet, writer, prose writer born in Farrukhabad (British Raj).
Mahadevi Verma (26 March 1907 – 11 September 1987) was an Indian Hindi-language poet, essayist, short story writer, and an eminent personality of Hindi literature. She is considered one of the four major pillars of the Chhayawadi era in Hindi literature. She has also been addressed as the modern Meera. Poet Nirala once called her "Saraswati in the vast temple of Hindi Literature". Verma witnessed India before and after its independence. She was one of those poets who worked for the wider society of India. Her work towards social upliftment and women's welfare was depicted in her writings. These works, especially her anthology Deepshikha, greatly influenced both readers and critics. She developed a soft vocabulary in the Hindi poetry of Khadi Boli, which previously was considered possible only in Braj Bhasha.
