| This article explores English women's important contributions to the campaign against sati (widow-burning) in India. It investigates how they attempted to eradicate sati through supporting missionary activity and female education in India, and through petiotioning Parliament in Brtain. English women's involvement in this campaign, which was contemporaneous with their involvement in the anti-salvery movement, has hitherto been ignored by hsitorians. The research presented in this article offers new perspectives on the meaning of female emancipation within an evangelical and imperial framework. Taken alongside work on the anti-slavery movement, it adds to our understanding of early nineteenth-century female philanthropy through clarifying the imperial dimensions of 'women's mission to women'. It also offers new insights into women's relationship to politics in the period, and into the origins of 'imperial feminism' | |
