About the Book

A widow without resources, a Hindu widow burdened with the handicap of religious fanaticism and superstition which weighed down any aspirations for betterment, and hedged about in all avenues of effort, and yet a valiant spirit which, recognizing a vision and a command, went forth for its fulfillment. This was Pandita Ramabai, the courageous soul who first saw the crying need of the child-widow, who realized the economic loss to the nation of setting apart a great class by ostracism to enforced inaction; the one, who realized the right of the child to live, to work, and to have development of her powers in spite of the supposed curse of the gods upon her life. It was in 1886 that this little woman, coming unknown and unsupported save by her own strength of conviction, landed on these shores and made her appeal for the child-widow of India. Modern, bustling America hardly knew that such a class existed, and the missionary folk who did know were not fully aware of the weight upon the girl-child heart of feeling condemnation because of the belief that the curse of the gods was the cause of the death of the boy or man to whom she was betrothed. So great was Ramabai’s conviction and so high her courage that immediate hearing was accorded her. In 1887 an Association was formed in the City of Boston with the names of these Christian leaders as incorporators for the purpose of establishing this Institution. The Association has continued not for ten years but for thirty-five, and still exists to carry on the work. Pandita Ramabai on the fifth of April 1922 finished her task. About The Author : Clementina Butler (January 7, 1862 – December 5, 1949) was an American evangelist and author. She was a founder of the Ramabai Association, an organization that established the first school in India for widowed women.
