Abstract:  This research paper critically examines the transformative role of Bengali women in the spread of education during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Through a qualitative historical methodology rooted in feminist historiography, the study investigates the contributions of pioneering figures—including Kadambini Ganguly, Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, and Sarala Roy—while documenting the collective efforts of women educators to challenge entrenched social, cultural, and institutional barriers. Drawing on archival records, biographical narratives, and institutional documents, the paper highlights how Bengali women established innovative educational institutions, devised holistic curricula, and built collaborative networks that expanded access to learning for diverse social strata. The findings reveal that their agency not only facilitated individual advancement but also shaped lasting institutional legacies and educational policies, contributing to broader social transformation and gender equity. By situating these achievements in the context of colonial, religious, and caste dynamics, the study underscores the intersectional challenges and creative strategies employed by Bengali women to democratize education. The analysis demonstrates the enduring relevance of their pedagogical models and advocacy approaches, offering insights for contemporary educational policy, feminist theory, and future research on women’s leadership and empowerment in South Asia.
