She also founded the Ahmedabad Textile Labour Association (Majoor Mahajan Sangh), India’s oldest union of textile workers, in 1920. Known as ‘Motaben’, Gujarati for ‘elder sister’, she was born in 1885 into the affluent Sarabhai family of Ahmedabad. However, Anasuya lost both her parents when she was only nine and was married off by her uncle at a tender age of 13. In 1912, Anasuya left for England to continue her studies and it was there the turnaround in her life came.
