Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Shardaben's autobiography, originally written in Gujarati and published in 1938, describes the life of an Indian woman at the turn of the twentieth century. She speak of her childhood, and her innermost feelings and emotions. Despite considerable opposition from society, in 1902 Shardaben and her sister became the first women graduates in Gujarat. This marked the beginning of her lifetime commitment to the cause of women's education. Here she documents both that, and the political and social changes that were sweeping over India. For over half a century, she and her husband interacted and worked in close association with many important political leaders and literary figures of India.
