Through a comprehensive analysis of historical records, biographical accounts, and scholarly literature, this article seeks to underscore the agency, resilience, and pioneering spirit exhibited by Bengali Muslim women during this transformative period in Indian history. By highlighting their invaluable contributions, this study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the intersectionality of gender, religion, and nationalism in the struggle for freedom.
