Paper Read by Colonel Temple, on the Women of India, at the Royal Palace Hotel, Kensington, on March 8th, 1899 (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
A clear, probing look at the life of high-caste Hindu women in India and the social forces that shape it, from tradition to reform.
In this nonfiction work, the speaker examines how Brahmanism and caste influence daily life, attitudes, and customs across regions. The talk discusses seclusion, family authority, and the balance between tradition and slowly growing change, with careful attention to the perspectives of both natives and observers.
- How Brahmanism and caste shape everyday behavior and domestic life
- The role of seclusion in women’s freedom, social contact, and happiness
- The debate over education, reform movements, and the pace of change
- Regional differences and examples from Burma, Bombay, and other places that illuminate contrasts
Ideal for readers of social history, cultural studies, and India’s historical transition toward modern ideas of gender and family.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a historical analysis of women's lives in India from the mid to late 19th century. The author employs knowledge of religious and cultural practices, sociology, and politics to provide readers with a complex view of family life, marriage customs, and the power structures within traditional Indian society of this era. Through the lens of a British official, the text focuses on the lives of women and the rigid gender roles expected of them within typical upper-class family structures. The author acknowledges the extreme social and religious limitations faced by Indian women but balances this with a nuanced understanding of Indian culture and provides valuable historical context for the time period. Insightful and comprehensive, this book provides a keyhole into the past and a broader understanding of Indian society and its treatment of women.
