📖Let The Earth Hear Her Voice! By Keith J. White📖
Â
Pandita Ramabai was an extraordinary Indian scholar, feminist and educator. Though still little known in the West, she was a pioneer for women’s education and participation in public affairs, even becoming the first woman to address the Indian National Social Congress. She was also a widely-travelled Sanskrit scholar, despite never having a day at school or college during her childhood, and the author of several pioneering books, including The High Class Hindu Woman and The Peoples of the United States.
Â
Ramabai was an active social reformer, recording the experiences and life stories of hundreds of child widows for whom she developed a wholly new and distinctive indigenously rooted setting for and method of education. She travelled across India and many other countries to give lectures on women’s rights and she was the first woman to translate the Bible into her own language. Most remarkably for her time, Ramabai charted these paths as a widowed single woman and mother.
Â
Although marginalised in history, Ramabai has started to become more recognised since her death and there are signs that her time has come.
