Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain was a pioneering role in awakening Muslim women. She was born on 9 December 1880 into a landed family of Pairaband, Rangpur. Rokeya realised that women could be freed from their shackles only if they were educated and became independent economically. She started a school for Muslim girls at Bhagalpur with only five students. Rokeya ran the school for twenty four years, facing hostile criticism and various social obstacles, and made it one of the best seat of learning available for Muslim girls. Rokeya died in Calcutta on 9 Decembe 1932.
