Book Description

Excerpt from The Wrongs of Indian Womanhood It is a matter of deep thankfulness to me that Mrs. Fuller is publishing her articles on "The Wrongs of Indian Womanhood" in a book. The world needs such books to enlighten it. Very few people, even in India itself, know what really goes on behind the purdah. Hundreds of our Indian reformers are ignorant of the real condition of women. The Indian women themselves do not realize the depths of degradation they are in. Even those who have suffered the greatest wrongs are reluctant to tell the truth to the world, even if they have the opportunity, for fear they may lower themselves and their nation in the eyes of other nations. A young widow was telling me some of the hardships she and other widows had to fear. Another young widow heard what she said to me and, when the talk was over, the latter took the former aside and gave her a severe scolding for betraying her family and her nation at large!
