The Life of Dr. Anandabai Joshee - A Kinswoman of the Pundita Ramabai #270677

The most difficult task of my life lay before me when I undertook to write the Life of Anandabai Joshee. In copying letters or using material furnished by those who loved her, I have been obliged to moderate the terms of affection and admiration which would have seemed extravagant to those who never saw her, or saw her only after her star "drooped toward its setting."<br><br>"I have never seen any one who gave me so distinct an impression of being 'high-born,'" said a lady who knew her slightly. It was however not the record which stretched over two thousand years, which gave dignity to Anandabai's mien, but the high-born consciousness, never absent, that in spirit she was the child of God."
