- Description
- This anthology brings together the writings of some Indian women who made social and literary contributions during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The excerpts taken from letters, tracts, diaries, magazines, articles, autobiographies, short stories, and even speeches discuss theatre, dance, travel, and personal experiences, while others dwell on social issues, doctrinal problems, orthodox practices, and the position of women in society.
