Publisher's Synopsis

This is the English translation of Swarnakumari Debri's Bengali social novel Snehalata, which was brought out serially in Bharati between 1889 and 1891. In this novel, the author took up the cause of the victims of the Hindu patriarchal system, the daughters, daughters in law, widows and poor dependents in the joint family who were deprived of their rights, exploited as domestic drudges and marginalised to the extent of being denied shelter and maintenance.
