hey buddy here is ur answer !!

Rashsundari debi

  • In her autobiography, Rassundari Devi (1810) writes that she used to curse herself for having such evil desires since women from ‘cultured’ households did not learn to read. Literate women were considered bad in the society. Old traditional women would make it into an issue if they spotted a piece of paper in the hands of a young girl. Yet, her desire outweighed her societal fear. Rassundari Devi took out a page from a religious book of her husband and stole one of the leaves on which her son used to practise writing. She hid these two items in her kitchen. She tried to match the words on the leaf with those on the page whenever she was free from household chores. If she heard any footsteps while she was learning to read, she would hide the page and the leaf under some utensil or stove.

  • The manner in which this woman learnt the art of reading and writing would seem like an alien thing in the present world. Later on, Rassundari Devi recorded her struggle in an autobiography “Amar Jiban” (My Life). She writes in her autobiography, recalling the times when she had learnt reading and writing;

“I used to be impatient to listen to the Ramayana recitation, but those were different times. Women had no freedom. They could not take any decision on their own. Just like any caged bird, women were imprisoned too.

hope it helps!!!
