To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When you ask an educated, intelligent Hindu gentleman " Have you any authority for infant marriage or for widowhood ? " or for those many customs Colonel Temple has described, he says : " No authority of any kind. It has simply arisen from mediaeval Hinduism, because in the original Bible of the Hindus a woman was elevated to the highest position and led an untrammelled life ; and in restoring woman to her proper place in India you are only doing what the Hindu Scriptures have enjoined upon eve...ry Hindu. " Colonel Temple has referred to Lady Dufferin's Fund, and I should like to say that the original idea emanated from a Hindu lady : it was mentioned to the Queen and sug- gested by her to Lady Dufferin, who in a noble manner stamped it with her name. There is no doubt, as Lord Curzon reminded us the other day, that when you cannot enter Hindu households^ by means of any other argument whatever, there is one plat- l^i form upon which you can always enter, and that is medicine. ^ Not only are 300 or 400 native ladies now instructed in medicine, but about 800, 000 women in the Zenanas are being helped by ourselves in this manner.
