If such a thing existed in 1898, Rama would have been a member of #womenwhodotoomuch, which probably explains her physical collapse. She runs Sharada Sadan for Hindu widows. She founds Mukti for female famine victims and their children. She's the fundraiser. She's the publicist. She tries to be a mother. And she's determined to earn God's blessing. Rama doesn't stop until she drops, and then she starts again. Rev. Donald agreed to serve on a board. Rama needs his support so she can raise funds, but he won't be joining her in the mission field. We may have different labels today, but I don't think the situation has changed much.
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
Rama recovered slowly. Moving from the bed to a chair. Walking up and down the hallway. Eating bread and drinking milk. Holding onto the bannister to hobble downstairs. Sitting in the drawing room. Looking out on daffodils in the window box. Rama’s spirits began to lift. Visitors came.
Reverend Donald arrived at the end of the second week, his dour expression softened by kind eyes.
“I’m much relieved to see you again.”
Rama cracked a smile. “God isn’t done with me yet.”
“So it would seem. I’ve agreed to serve in the new American Ramabai Association. In fact, most of the leaders from before will serve. I thought you’d want to know.”
