Love and life behind the purdah
By Cornelia Sorabji ;  edited by Chandani Lokugbe.
Published by Oxford University Press (2003)

Book description

Cornelia Sorabji (1866-1952) was a pioneer in the tradition of Indian-Parsee women's literature in English. This collection of Sorabji's short stories reflects her fascination with orthodox Hindu women and her frustrated feminist ambitions to liberate them from their enforced or self-willed domesticity.
