Moovalur Ramamirtham (1883–1962) was a Tamil social reformer, author, and political activist of the Dravidian Movement, who worked for the abolition of the Devadasi system in the Madras Presidency.
Ramamirtham was born in 1883 in Thiruvarur, Madras Presidency, and was brought up at Moovalur, a village near Mayuram (now Mayiladhuthurai).
In 1930, she supported Muthulakshmi Reddi's failed attempt to abolish the Devadasi system in the Presidency through legislation.
[citation needed] In 1936, she authored a novel Dasigalin Mosavalai alladhu madhi pettra minor (lit.
The Dasis' Web of Deceit, or The Playboy Grown Wise) which exposed the plight of the Devadasis.
