Question

Who was Rashsundari Devi? Analyze her contribution in improving women’s situation in the

society​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rassundari Devi took out a page from a religious book of her husband and stole one of the leaveson 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.

Rashsundari Debi was a Bengali writer who is identified as the author of first full-fledged autobiography in modern Bengali literature. She is among the earliest woman writers in Bengali literature.
