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.
Who will bring light to the poor? Who will travel from door to door bringing education to them? Let these people be your God -- think of them, work for them, pray for them incessantly. The Lord will show you the way.
-Swami Vivekananda
