Pandita Ramabai was a nineteenth century female convert from Hinduism to Christianity who established a school for Brahmin widows in India and spent her life trying to improve the living and social conditions of Indian women.
This addition to the Charles Fenton James Papers consists of a manuscript outline of a speech [ca. 1901 ?] concerning the life and work of Pandita Ramabai Sarasvati (1858-1922) and an electrostatic copy of a certification of Elias James' military service in the Revolutionary War as a Private in Captain Henry Shade's Company, First Battalion, Pennsylvania Rifle Regiment (1968).
