- Authors
Biswas, Paramita; Banerjee, Joydeep
- Abstract
Education is the only tool for overall human development irrespective of gender. But education was denied for ages to women which have hindered their freedom from accessing knowledge. Rabindranath Tagore through his numerous novels and short stories emphasized women education which has paved the way of women emancipation. He portrayed such bold characters in his stories, which was rare and even inconceivable at that time he wrote them because they have questioned the traditional role of women, defying the customs in their own way in search of freedom to live a normal life which was denied and ultimately in pursuit of greater freedom of inner self.
