To discuss on women's education in colonial India, students could refer to the following autobiography:

'Amar Jiban' by Rashsundari Devi (1876) is the first full-length autobiography in Bengali and one of the earliest by an Indian woman. It vividly describes how she taught herself to read in secret, making it a key autobiographical source on women's education in colonial India. Stripurushtulna is an essay/tract, Sultana's Dream is a short story (fiction), and Manimekalai is an ancient Tamil epic — none are autobiographies of the colonial period.
