Question

effects of print media on women's life​

Answer 1

Print culture had a profound impact on the lives of women in 19th century India. Their lives and feelings which were previously confined within the four walls of their homes became the topics of writing and discussion. Women’s reading increased enormously in middle class homes and journals began to be written by women explaining the necessity of women education. Autobiographies and novels written by women writers highlighted the exploitation of women and became the source of social reform. Issues like women education, widowhood, widow remarriage and the national movement began to be discussed and debated by women.
