Abala Bose: Social Worker
I researched alot about her, her work really attracted me towards her personality!
1.Abala Bose was an early feminist and frequently wrote about why women needed more education and stressed that women's minds were just as important as men's.
2. Later in her life, she set up the Nari Shiksha Samiti, a nonprofit whose mission was to educate girls and women. She also opened a home for widows and a rehabilitation center for women.
3. Known for her efforts in the advancement of women's education and her contribution towards the alleviation of the condition of widows
4. Abala was denied admission to Calcutta Medical College as female students were not yet accepted in the college. She went to Madras (now Chennai) in 1882 on Bengal government scholarship to study medicine but had to give up because of ill health.
5. In 1887, she married scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose. She accompanied her husband in several travels abroad in later years.
6. Apart from working as an educator, Bose was an early feminist. Writing in English magazine Modern Review, she argued that women should get a better education, "not because we may make better matches for our girls ... not even that the services of the daughter-in-law may be more valuable in the home of her adoption, but because a woman like a man is first of all a mind, and only in the second place physical and a body."
7. Lady Bose served as Secretary of Brahmo Balika Shikshalaya from 1910 to 1936. She died on 25 April 1951, aged 87.
