Annai Meenambal Sivaraj (Tamil: அன்னை மீனாம்பாள் சிவராஜ்) (26 December 1904 – 30 November 1992) was the first Scheduled Caste women president of the South India Scheduled Castes Federation (SCF). She presided over the SCF Women's Conference held at Madras, in 1944, which was attended by B. R. Ambedkar. She also presided over the All India SCF Women's Conference held at Bombay, on 6 May 1945.[1]

She was also one of the radical feminist leaders of the Self-Respect Movement. It was Annai Meenambal who gave E.V.R Ramasamy the title he has now come to be known by – “Periyar” (The Great One) in the conference in Madras[better source needed]. Periyar on hearing this title is said to have laughed and accepted it as a sister's gift. In 1937, Meenambal Sivaraj presided over the Tinnelveli District Third Adi Dravida Conference. [better source needed] [2]
