This lecture was delivered by Swami Vivekananda in California. It gives a vivid picture of how his great heart bled for the suffering millions of India, and also his plan for the uplift of his motherland to the position of her past glory. In these pages the reader also finds the great Swami speaking so poignantly about himself, his inner struggle and sorrow. A must for all those who want to feel the charm and force of Swamiji's thoughts.
Women will work out their destinies -- much better, too, than men can ever do for them. All the mischief to women has come because men undertook to shape the destiny of women.
-Swami Vivekananda
