This is a set of essays by Sister Nivedita, published posthumously.
Nivedita was a woman of Irish nationality who converted to Hinduism and spent her life selflessly helping the poor women of India.
This book gives a rare ground-level vista of vernacular Hinduism from a woman's point of view in the 19th century.
Pervading Nivedita's writing is an earnest quest for spiritual liberation and sincere love for the Indian people of all castes.
Also at this site by Sister Nivedita are Kali the Mother, and The Web of Indian Life.
