Abstract

Abstract: The question of women’s education in India gained prominence in the early nineteenth to late twentieth century. It is during this time that a number of agents began working towards it including the missionaries in the beginning to the social reformers and also the British government making consolidated efforts later. By the turn of the twentieth century, educational institutions and enrolment of girls and women in institutions increased. In a way the years stretching between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century were the foundational years as far as the growth and spread of women’s education is concerned.
