Isabella Thoburn (1902) is a biography written by William Fitzjames Oldham about the life of Isabella Thoburn, an American missionary who dedicated her life to educating girls and women in India during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book chronicles Thoburn's early life in Ohio, her decision to become a missionary, and her journey to India where she founded the Isabella Thoburn College in Lucknow. The biography also explores Thoburn's relationships with her family, fellow missionaries, and Indian students, as well as her struggles with illness and the challenges of working in a foreign country. Through Thoburn's story, Oldham illuminates the social and cultural context of India during the British Raj, and provides insight into the complexities of cross-cultural exchange and the role of women in missionary work. Overall, Isabella Thoburn (1902) is a rich and engaging portrait of a pioneering woman who left a lasting impact on the education of girls and women in India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
