Shubhada Gogate

Shubhada Sharad Gogate, born 2 September 1943 as Pushpa Ranade, is a Marathi author from Maharashtra, India.

As a child, she was a voracious reader of Marathi- and English-language books, magazines and circulars, and wrote many short stories.

As a bookseller and publisher’s wife with a keen interest in her husband’s work, she soon learned the trade of making and selling books.

Gogate's novel Khandalyachya Ghatasaathi (Marathi: खन्डाळ्याच्या घाटासाठी), a historical novel based on the construction and then extension of the first railway line in India, was published in 1992.

In 1993, Gogate's story "Birthright" was included in the science fiction anthology It Happened Tomorrow, published by the National Book Trust of India.
