The first woman to lead an armed rebellion against British rule in India was Rani Durgavati.
She ruled the Gond kingdom in the 16th century (around 1550s).
She fought bravely against the Mughal forces to protect her kingdom.
However, if you are asking about the first woman leader in the 1857 Revolt, that was Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi.
So, historically:
Rani Durgavati led an armed rebellion in the 16th century.
Rani Lakshmibai was a prominent female leader in the 19th-century revolt against t
he British.
