Reforms towards the Education of Women
Educating girls was considered a burden and useless as it would take them away from domestic work. But many reformers struggled for women’s education and the abolition of child marriage.
Arya Samaj in Punjab and Jyotirao Phule established schools for girls in Maharashtra. In Patna and Calcutta, Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain started schools for Muslim girls. Thus slowly with the support from reformers, omen started entering universities for higher education and some even started working as teachers, doctors, and lawyers.
