Book Description

About the Book "Sketches of Some Distinguished Indian Women," authored by Mrs. E. F. Chapman in 1891, is a collection of biographical sketches showcasing notable Indian women who significantly impacted society and culture. It highlights their struggles, triumphs, and contributions, featuring figures like Rani Lakshmibai and Begum Hazrat Mahal, known for their resistance against British rule. The book also sheds light on lesser-known yet remarkable women such as Ramabai Ranade and Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, who advocated for women's education and fought for freedom. With detailed narratives and historical context, the book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the pivotal role of Indian women in shaping the nation's history and society.

About the Author Georgiana Charlotte Clive Chapman (11 May 1855-4 April 1941) was a biographer who gathered material for her book "Sketches of some Distinguished India Women" (1891). Upon returning to England, she resumed her involvement with Westfield College, council, contributing to its library, and holding various leadership positions.

Preface In her Introduction, Mrs. Chapman expresses some fear lest people in England should begin to weary of the subject of Indian women, so much having been written of late concerning them and their peculiar trials. But this little book needs no apology; and I, for one, have never read anything more interesting or more likely to be useful to the cause of female education in India than this small collection of biographies. No one will read these Sketches of some Distinguished Indian Women without a feeling of intense sympathy and admiration for the subject of each one of them; or without pride and pleasure in the fact that so much talent, perseverance, and determination should be found combined with so much gentleness, and with so many truly feminine qualities. One might, perhaps, have feared that women who had had to break through the hard and fast rules of caste and custom would have lost their more lovable characteristics in the struggle; but one rises from the perusal of each one of these biographies with as much affection for the woman as admiration for the student. But besides the almost dramatic interest of these lives, Mrs. Chapman's little volume is full of information, and her descriptions of the childhood of her different "distinguished women," and of the circum-stances of their families and the religions of their parents, are not the least admirable part of her work; while, in her Introduction, she gives a short and most instructive account of questions affecting the welfare of Indian women, and of the various efforts made to improve their condition. I am sure this little book will be read with interest by everyone who takes it up; while to all those who have thought of Indian women, or who have worked for their welfare in any way, it will come as a message of hope and encouragement, and, as such, will give them unmitigated pleasure.

Introduction So much has been written and spoken, during the last twenty years, on the sad condition of the women of India that people in England may be supposed to be fairly well acquainted with the general facts, and there is perhaps some danger of their becoming wearied by a too frequent repetition of the story. Missionaries, philanthropists, educational and social reformers, have all made the condition of Indian women their theme, and have painted in dark and forcible colours the picture of their de-gradation, their helplessness, their ignorance, the cruel treatment and dreadful sufferings to which millions of them are exposed, and the dull, empty, colourless lives of even the happiest among them. Happily there is now a brighter side to the picture.
