K. O. Aysha Bai (25 October 1926 – 28 October 2005), also spelled Ayesha Bai,[1] was a Communist politician from south India. She rose to popularity because of her confidence and speaking ability. She was the first Deputy Speaker of the Kerala Legislative Assembly (6 May 1957 – 31 July 1959).[1][2][3] Aysha Bai was the first Muslim woman to rise to public fame in modern Kerala. She was an aggressive advocate for the forward progress of Mappila women.[1] She was also a pioneer organizer of Women's Societies (Mahila Samajams). She inspired countless amounts of people to be public speakers and helped the lives of other people while doing so.[4]
