The Compassionate Memsahibs refutes the traditional
view--perpetuated in the works of writers like Rudyard Kipling--of
the memsahibs as a homogeneous group of aloof, pampered women who
had little interest in India. Here Mary Ann Lind presents
information about the lives of fifteen memsahibs--all of which is
previously unpublished--who voluntarily participated in reform and
welfare activities in India during the first half of this century.
Their activities and experiences placed them outside the more
expected lifestyle of the memsahib and offer contemporary social
historians a new window through which to view the Raj.
