S M Modi was Mumbai's first woman mayor from February 23, 1956, to March 31, 1956.
The others are Nirmala Samant-Prabhavalkar (1994-95), Vishakha Raut (1997-98) and Shubha Raul (2007 till date).
According to BMC sources, "Raul (above) was elected as an OBC candidate. So, the mayor cannot be from a backward caste now."
