Women who had been restricted to a domestic life for generations, now found a new medium of entertainment. They also began to write articles for journals, in favour of women's education and literacy. Some even wrote books; Rashsundari Deviâ??s autobiography â??Amar Jibanâ?? was the first full-length autobiography, published in 1876.
