Synopsis

Excerpt from Ratanbai: A Sketch of a Bombay High Caste Hindu Young Wife I have much pleasure in writing these few lines, and feel sure that the readers of this Hindu story will be interested to hear that the Authoress is the head of a Hindu School for high caste girls, and therefore has had every opportunity for studying their characteristics. The School is of immense help to her country= women, who are, as a rule, prevented from being properly trained in sometimes even the simplest forms of education by their high caste and their early marriages, which, as a rule, prevent girls from going to school after twelve years of age - the very time when our English girls are beginning to see more clearly the advantages of education.
