Emilie Schenkl (26 December 1910 – 13 March 1996) was the wife (or companion) of Subhas Chandra Bose—a major leader of Indian nationalism—and the mother of their daughter, Anita Bose Pfaff (born 29 November 1942).
Schenkl, an Austrian, and her baby daughter were left without support in wartime Europe by Bose, following his departure for Southeast Asia in February 1943 and death in 1945.
In 1948, both were met by Bose's brother Sarat Chandra Bose and his family in Vienna in an emotional meeting.
In the post-war years, Schenkl worked shifts in the trunk exchange and was the main breadwinner of her family, which included her daughter and her mother.
