Question

How did the print culture influence the women in the end of the 19th Century?

Answer 1

The liberal families supported the education of women to study or read as they believed education and reading would make the women corrupt. This led the counter reaction, as most of the oppressed women began to study and read books and learnt writing secrecy. Some literate women started to write books and their autobiographies. The spread of print culture in 19th century India benefited Indian women through learning and education.
