... that in 1943, Bee Mansell(pictured) led a group of Indian women to the House of Commons to request the release of Gandhi from prison? Source: On February 24, 1943, Batlivala led a delegation of Indian women to the Central Lobby of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. They met several women MPs and put their case for the release of Mahatma Gandhi who had been imprisoned in India at the start of the Quit India Campaign.[1]
Article is new and plenty long. There are citations in every paragraph, including for the hook fact. AGF as many of them require a subscription. Not sure why you're presenting her married name when her page is located at her birth name. Not that important an issue to me. Copyvio says a violation is possible, but it's because of the direct quotations that are properly attributed. QPQ is done. Image appears to be public domain. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:22, 6 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
You can use her common name. My calculation is that you're way fine on the character limit. WP:DYKHOOK: no more than about 200 characters (including spaces and the question mark, but not including the ..., the space immediately following the ..., or any (pictured)). I calculate 124 characters in the hook at present. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:37, 7 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
