The pages of Indian history are illumined by the lives of saintly men and women radiating their brilliance from different spheres of action. And these pages cover millennia. The present book is an abridgment of the title 'Great Women of India' and provides in a brief compass an account of the exemplary women of character, piety and renunciation who have ennobled the sacred land 'Bharat'. Short notes are presented on the lives of extraordinary women in Vedic times, in Ramayana and Mahabharata, in Buddhism and Jainism, in Middles Ages all across India, and to the present age culminating in a brief life sketch of Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, the divine consort of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math

“The remarkable women celebrated in [this] vibrantly illustrated collection . . . offer stirring words of encouragement to any woman, of any age” (Booklist). The glory of growing older is the freedom to be more truly ourselves. With age we gain the confidence to pursue bold new endeavors and worry less about what other people think. In this richly illustrated volume, bestselling author and artist Lisa Congdon explores the power of women over the age of forty who are thriving and living life on their own terms. A Glorious Freedom includes profiles, interviews, and essays from women such as Vera Wang, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Julia Child, Cheryl Strayed, and many others who have found creative fulfillment and accomplished great things in the second half of their lives. Each section is lavishly illustrated and hand-lettered in Congdon's signature style.
