Shantabai Yadav is India’s first female barber
Shantabai Yadav from Maharashtra took over her late husband’s profession to feed her family of four daughters and became India’s first female barber. She charges ₹50 for a haircut and a shave and ₹100 for shaving cattle. “I had only two choices, either to kill my daughters and myself…or to hold the ustra that my husband left behind,” the 70-year-old said.
