‎Education Women's History‎

‎Incredible Correspondence Archive of Pre-Independence Women of India Seeking Personal and Financial Independence and Education 1920s-1940s‎

‎Extensive correspondence collection 1920-1940s. 66 letters by various authors mostly women native to the Indian sub-continent all very unusual in the fact that they are highly educated and in the midst of further studies or early in their careers decades prior to Indian Independence. The letters are addressed to a young teacher Probha who was former classmate to most of the writers as well as a few to her sister Rani or to both and follows them as they finish school enter teacher training college and ultimately fan out over India as bearers of a new generation of independent Indian women. In 1931 Indian female literacy hovered at just under 3% making the experiences of these forerunners and their correspondence incredibly rare.<br/> <br/>Prior to Indian Independence from Britain Gandhi called for uplifting the status of women through education and recognition of their inherent worth as human beings. Determined to inculcate the equality of the sexes into Indian culture Gandhi publicly did household tasks that were traditionally women's work and declared that "the future is with women." Indeed other activists also equated India's independence with new freedoms for women. However by 1931 Indian female literacy hovered under 3% and was often lower in the rural provinces where schools were few child marriage was prevalent and patriarchal norms dominated society. On the cusp of vast cultural change educated women and female schoolteachers and professionals were the rare exception. <br/> <br/>These letters record the interactions between a rare group of highly educated women their thirst for personal and financial independence as well as their conflicting feelings regarding the traditions that defined their lives and restricted them. Their nexus was the Queen Victoria Girls' High School in Agra a small city in the rural northern province of Uttar Pradesh most notable for being the home of the world famous Taj Mahal a symbol of reverence to a much-loved wife of antiquity and of honor to the traditional woman. In its tall shadow young sisters Probha and Rani Thomas attended high school at "QVHS" in the late 1920s-early 1930s where lifelong friendships developed with female students Libawati Ivy Monica Lila Mercy Winnie among others. Most of them became teachers where the extraordinary nature of their achievement stood in stark relief to the lot of most other women "This year only one out of five girls has passed from our village schools." As their lives continued and they spread across the country education became the uniting factor that drove the young women forward and brought them back to each other. "Probha what are you going to do now I am going back to old Q.V. to become a teacher and I am feeling very sad as my dear old class girls won't be there. All these past years seem like a dream. So soon the parting took place.No more Tenthies no more H.M. Club. All have faded like a passing cloud.I shall never find such a jolly set again Probha. This future seems very hard." They were witness to an extraordinary moment in history when the world was changing particularly for women and with their education they are in a unique position to describe the change "It is funny that when it is time for us to be silent we have to look after our visitors and perform useless ceremonies-someday we'll change but not yet." One recalls a train ride in which she sat near "a bold Gandhi's follower.In his eloquent poetical language he was telling people that he had been to jail and was saying that for the love of country he can endure anything." Probha and Rani's father a judge had lessons for them about the danger of Revolutionary activities when one of their friends gets involved "Arel De is intelligent and emotional but he has no self control.You may write to him but make it plain that you will drop correspondence if he writes politics again. He is either already on Police books or will soon be." Though they shied away from direct involvement in politics they encapsulated Indian women's liberation in the early century: striving after independent employment deferring marriage yet with respect for their elders. In one letter Monica sadly reports to Probha "I am not coming back to school. Although I am feeling very bad but yes father has done what is good for me. I asked many times to let me go but he forced me to stay here." And in another poignant letter "Lovey" writes "Rani sis do you remember once we were talking about this problem of getting married Now very soon I shall be facing it. John wants to settle down after my working for one year only & I wish to work for at least two years. I think I shall have to do my parents will decide. Please pray that I may get a chance of working for at least two years."<br/> <br/>In tone the women are warm and sisterly to an extent not found in letters of Western cultural origin and also profoundly honest in reporting to one another their successes and failures; a good or bad test score the struggle to study while encountering difficulties such as lack of clean drinking water and large snakes and even having the security of their families placed on their young shoulders "May God help me. May I pass in the 3rd division only for it is difficult time for us two sisters. Our father's money is nearly spent and if I pass I go for training. Please remember us in your prayers that we may soon become independent." As one of the young women finds out who goes back to QVHS as a student teacher life becomes more complicated as time goes on "My examination result is so bad.my poor mother is working so hard at home. It was too much to disappoint her.I know you would ask me but why have you done so badly The only answer I can give you is that I got 7 periods a week to teach & being a slow writer the notes of lessons & the preparation took all my study time." What they share is a clarify on the value of their education to all their future lives: "All the Normal Students High School and the middle candidates.tell each one of them that I wish them a very brilliant success. Tell them that I remember each one of them in my prayers that they all may pass in the 1st Division with scholarships."<br/> <br/>Cultural references show the writers and recipients of these letters were generally native of India although they often went by Western cognoms. A few of the letters from British servicemen or coworkers offer an interesting perspective on intercultural understanding and friendship in the days when Indian Independence loomed so closely on the horizon. A serviceman befriended by Probha writes "In those days we were very ignorant. We knew nothing at all of the country or the people and their ways and customs. I think we were most surprised to find that you spoke English.We were astounded to see such bad conditions existed for some people and very upset to find such a feeling of bitterness between our two peoples." Reflecting the dichotomy inherent to the lives of these girls several letters are from their mother who simultaneously pushes them on to achieve independence and reminds them of their cultural anchor. anxious for them and resolute that they will have every opportunity possible. An intelligent woman in her own right Probha's mother offers advice on her exams "Your last quarterly should have had better marks. I wrote a few little hints in my last letter. Please keep them in mind.I'll send your saris in a day or two.I couldn't get even a bit of voil in the bazaar. There was no chance of getting it from any out station. I've used the bits I had at home.I pray God to be with my baby & help her to be a true hearted & brave soldier." <br/> <br/>The letters are in English except for a few brief passages in Hindi as English was the primary language of education and commerce prior to Independence. A few are from an object of romance; a male teacher who courts Probha with poetry but does not succeed in convincing her to give up her freedom as a single woman. A rare archive of letters from an extremely uncommon cross-section of pre-Independence society: the forerunner of the modern educated and independent woman of India. unknown books‎

Bradbound brown boards patterned for leather effect "Album" stamped in gilt on cover. Modest rubbing to the front hinge and slight bumping at the corners. 164 glossy-finish snapshot photographs of the female college students and their life at Cornwall in a variety of sizes including 3.5" x 5.5" 2.5" x 4.5" 3.5" x 2.5" inches both black and white and sepia. Most are captioned in white ink. Slight warp to some photographs from being pasted to the pages and occasion residue from fingerprints. Beautiful impressionistic portraits of the life of these hopeful young teachers in Cornwall. In addition to the many vivid photos of the teachers going for outings and picnicks "Help yourself to the cream" and lively portraits "the long and short of it" under a photograph of a tall young woman smiling ruefully there are photographs of the ancient city of Cornwall which carry a beautiful spectral quality. <br/><br/>In the 1920s teaching was one of the only pursuits available to women who wanted economic enfranchisement outside of waged domestic service. However there were many restrictions placed on female teachers; The women we see smiling in these photos although choosing liberation in one sense also faced much personal sacrifice. These women had to live morally exemplary lives by the rigorous contemporary standards since they were entrusted to raise the youth. Additionally until 1944 in the UK no married women were allowed to work as teachers. If a woman teacher married she had to resign from her job; if she was already married she was sacked. Some women found a way around the marriage bars by marrying in secret and then living apart from their husband or by having a very long engagement. Most female teachers however remained single in a time when marriage and motherhood signified adult female identity. The tensions between two identities-- that of the professional teacher and that of the feminine woman-- coupled with the influence of the suffrage movement and systematic unfair treatment in the teacher's unions led to teachers becoming some of the most ardent feminists of the movement. unknown books‎
