A Sanskrit scholar and high-caste widow honoured across India for her learning, Ramabai was baptised in 1883 and founded the Mukti Mission near Pune to shelter widows and famine orphans. In 1905 a remarkable prayer revival broke out there. She set down her own account of the long road that brought her to Christ.
