A Star Named Bibha And Other Stories: Timeless Biographies

by Anwesha Sengupta, Simantini Mukhopadhyay, Supurna Banerjee

Overview

What's a common thread that connects remarkable women such as Tun Tun, Bibha Chowdhury and Pandita Ramabai? That they were born, lived and worked between the late-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, when being a woman was a challenging experience, shaped by caste, religion, place of residence, class and occupation. These women dared to go against social conventions and made their mark in traditionally male-dominated spaces and professions, paving the way for the women of today.
