This excellant volume, containing twenty-four valuable articles from the pen of eminent writers and a scholarly introduction by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, is an attempt, the first of its kind, to survey the position and prospect of women in Indian society during the last five thousand years through an illustrative study of the lives and achievements of the more outstanding among them. A study of this book will surely lead to a proper understanding of the subject and a correct assessment of Indian culture.
Jnana teaches that the world should be given up, but not on that account to be abandoned. To be in the world but not of it -- is the true test of the sannyasin.
