Sobre IBD

The High-Caste Hindu Woman is a book written by Pandita Ramabai Sarasvati, a prominent Indian social reformer and women’s rights activist. The book was first published in 1887 and is a detailed account of the life of high-caste Hindu women in India during the 19th century.Through her writing, Sarasvati sheds light on the oppressive conditions that high-caste Hindu women faced in their daily lives, including restrictions on education and marriage, as well as the practice of purdah, which required women to remain veiled and secluded from public life.Sarasvati also discusses the impact of British colonialism on Indian society and the ways in which it contributed to the marginalization of women. She argues that education and economic independence are crucial for women’s empowerment and advocates for the establishment of schools and vocational training programs for women.Overall, The High-Caste Hindu Woman is a powerful critique of the patriarchal and caste-based systems that have historically oppressed women in India. Sarasvati’s work continues to be an important text in the ongoing struggle for gender equality and social justice in India and beyond.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
