What is ‘Zenana’ school?
Answers
Answer:
Zenana (Persian: زنانه, Bengali: জেনানা, Urdu: زنانہ, Hindi: ज़नाना) literally meaning "of the women" or "pertaining to women," in Persian language[1] contextually refers to the part of a house belonging to a Hindu or Muslim family in the Indian subcontinent which is reserved for the women of the household.[2][3] The zenana are the inner apartments of a house in which the women of the family live. The outer apartments for guests and men are called the mardana. Conceptually in those that practise purdah, it is the equivalent in the Indian subcontinent of the harem.
Answer:
One of the first schools that attracted girls of the city and triggered a transformation among young women, Zenana was led by missionaries from Augusta Blandford to Dorothy Taylor who have left behind precious chronicles of the micro-history of the city.
