Product Description
The history of civilisation is the collective history of the individuals who constituted it. But then, certain lives have altered the course of human history remarkably and radically. This book is the biography of one such remarkable individual who went on the change the course of history in her society. Rakhmabai was an ordinary Hindu girl who had been married off at the tender age of eleven in consonance with then prevalent social tradition. But then, neither the conservative Hindu society nor the British Raj could stop her situation legally. She won an emphatic moral victory in this regard, ensuring widespread social upheaval in the process. Later she went on to qualify herself in the science of medicine from England and served her motherland with rare distinction, becoming the first practicing lady doctor of India. She was also amongst the earliest participants in the Red Cross movement from India. Her story is a saga, a struggle against discriminatory and oppressive systems. The message of the story, timeless...Humankind is on a continuous march towards individual and collective freedom.
