I've Received An Invitation
At Cheltenham, Rama offers classes in Sanskrit. Her mentor Miss Beale advertised for male students to join the class. Her sponsors in the Church of England forbade a mixed class. They want her to return to India as a missionary. Miss Beale withdraws the course. Rama is outraged. Who are these people to tell her how to live her life? She has other options.
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
“Everyone tells me what to do and who to be. Even you. I’m a grown woman with a child. I came here without assistance. I support myself teaching Marathi and Sanskrit. I’ve spoken to mixed audiences since I was a girl. I won’t tolerate this disrespectful treatment anymore. I’ve received an invitation to visit America. Perhaps I should accept it.”
