Womens Pioners in India's Renaissance

Indian renaissance which coincided with the rise and growth of Indian nationalism and its culmination in freedom for the century is singularly marked by the active role of a large number of women. Each of them has in their chosen mission, brought to it all the energy and quality of service and sacrifice which lay with her. They thus not only enriched numerous other lives but also gave shape to modern India. This volume brings us their struggles, aspirations and achievements. Each life sketch and memoir in this volume bears the imprint of the author’s close association with these pioneering women and hence makes it a unique document for the present and future.
