Hindu Mahila Vidyalaya (School for Hindu Women) was an all-female boarding school located at 22 Beniapukur Lane, Entally, Kolkata, India.[1][2] Founded by British translator Annette Beveridge, the school was one of the first in India to provide girl students with a curriculum equivalent to that offered for boys.[3] Sources record different dates for the establishment of the school. While Indian historian Jogesh C. Bagal records the date of establishment as 18 November 1873,[1] American historian David Kopf mentions it as 18 September 1873.[4]
Dwarkanath Ganguly was the headmaster.[4] Ananda Mohan Bose and Durga Mohan Das bore the expenses of the institution.[5] Others involved in the school were Sivanath Sastri and Monomohun Ghose.[3] Mrs. J. B. Phear was an honorary teacher.[1][6] She went to the extent of teaching her students how to eat at a table with cutlery.[3]
After the marriage of Annette Akroyd, the school was closed in March 1876. It was revived on 1 June 1876 as Banga Mahila Vidyalaya (Bengali Women's College).[1]
