The High-Caste Hindu Woman

The silence of a thousand years has been broken, and the reader of this unpretending little volume catches the first utterances of the unfamiliar voice. Throbbing with woe, they are revealed in the following pages to intelligent, educated, happy American women. God grant that these women, whom He has blessed above all women upon the earth, may not flippantly turn away, as they are wont to do from some overpious tale, and without reading, condemn ! To begin this story of The High-caste Hindu Woman, and not to read it through attentively to the last word of the agonized appeal, is to invoke upon oneself the divine displeasure meted out those who disregard the cry of “him that had none to help him.”
