Swami Vivekananda traces the downfall of India to the continued neglect of our women and of our masses. This book is an attempt to bring together in a single compass the thoughts of this great teacher on the subject of Indian women?their past, present, and future?that lie scattered in his voluminous speeches and writings.
The Atman alone is eternal. Hospitals will tumble down. Railroad givers will all die. This earth will be blown to pieces, suns wiped out. The Atman endures for ever.
-Swami Vivekananda
