Lifelong learning opportunities for professional women in Bangladesh: to what extent does patriarchy act as a barrier?

In the novel ‘Pride and Prejudice’, Austen (1813) wanted to show the marginal or subaltern standing of a woman in the 18th century England by saying that a woman was always subservient to a man, and the sole identity of a woman was being a wife to a male at that time.
