A. Nabeesa Ummal (30 June 1931 – 6 May 2023) was an Indian academic, orator, social worker, and Communist Party of India (Marxist) politician from Kerala. She was the first Muslim woman to pursue a postgraduate degree in Malayalam. She was elected to Kerala Legislative Assembly from Kazhakoottam Assembly constituency in 1987 as an independent candidate with the support of Left Democratic Front.
Biography
Nabeesa Ummal was born on 30 June 1931, in Kallanvila, Attingal, in present-day Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala, as the youngest of five children of Asanummal, a native of Bhoothapandi, Tamil Nadu, and Khader Moideen, a police constable. After studying at Attingal Government Girls High school, Nabeesa Ummal obtained BA and MA degrees from Thiruvananthapuram Women's College, studying Economics, Politics, and History in Malayalam. She was the first Muslim woman to pursue a postgraduate degree in Malayalam.
Ummal married Hussain Kunju, a soldier from Nedumangad, while pursuing her pre-university studies at the Thiruvananthapuram Women's College. The couple had six children.
