Pandita Ramabai (1858-1922) was an Indian Christian scholar, social reformer, and a spiritual seeker. She overcame immense challenges, including losing her family to starvation and becoming a widow at a very young age. Through it all she pursued a deeper relationship with Christ and lived a life of faith as she advocated for better treatment for women in India and shared Christ with young girls. She was even commemorated in India on a postage stamp for her work! We hope you enjoy learning about this amazing woman.
