A true picture of East India in the late 1800's from a fresh point of view--an inside picture through the life story of a Hindu woman. Married to a widower at 11, she goes through years of development and adjustment to an unusually progressive man, who demanded education for his wife. Failures and successes, growing respect and devotion to her husband, an entry into a new world of educational and social reform. Unique and interesting material, and a fresh type of autobiography.
