Ashapoorna Devi and BaniBasu have always tried to focus on the marginalized condition of Bengali women. For them Bengal had given birth not to women but to the future mother. Bengali culture at that time affirms only one identity that is the motherhood. In colonial Bengal female body should be a reproductive one and the climactic torturous moment comes when a ten years old girl is forcibly married to an old person and with the death of that person the girl finds its new identity and as she is not able to give birth to a child the only way left to her is that she had to accept death on her husband’s funeral pyre. This was the history of colonial Bengal where women were only the means of production.
