Book Signed

Indian Civil Servant, author, and husband of Women's Movement founder Saroj Nalini. Book Signed and Inscribed on front endpaper: "With Sincere Regards from G.S. Dutt" and dated 1937. Dutt's book is a testament to the meaningful activism of his wife Nalini, who sought to bring social, economic, and educational advances to the Indian women in the rural regions outside Calcutta. Her foundation of the Women's Institute was crucial in spreading education to women throughout the country, providing women with vocational training that enabled them a new level of independence in that they could earn for themselves and support their families. Following her early death at the age of 37, Nalini's dedicated husband Dutt carried on her mission by writing her biography as well as initiating The Saroj Nalini Dutt Memorial Association, which was later affiliated to the Associated Country Women of the World, an international organisation dedicated to the upliftment of the status of women worldwide.
