She and her daughter enjoyed Little Lord Fauntleroy that Mrs. Sewall's class sent. Thank you for it. Pundita Ramabai, Indian educator. After being widowed and left with a baby girl and no male relatives to support her, she went to England, eventually becoming a professor of Sanskrit at the Ladies' College at Cheltenham. While visiting the United States she began a study of the public school system, believing she could apply the same principles in her homeland. Upon returning to India, she opened a school to educate high-caste Hindu child-widows, young girls who, without husbands, would normally face lives of misery.
