what role was played by some muslim wwomen to promote women education in mid_19 century?

1. Muslim women, since the 20th century, for instance, like the Begums of Bhopal, have played an instrumental role in promoting the cause of Female Education.

2. Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, another woman, set up schools in Patna and Calcutta for the Muslim girls, thereby arguing that religious leaders, be they of any faith have always accorded an inferior position to women.

Still other Hindu women too promoted the cause- For example Tarabai Shinde published the Stripurushtulna- criticising the differences societies create between men and women, and Pandita Ramabai whose works pointed out the miserable lives of the upper caste Hindu women.
