Numerous books have been written about Mahatma Gandhi, the man who freed India, but nothing about the woman who shared his successes and failures. Known simply as 'Ba' -- Mother -- to millions of people in India, her story has been untold until now. She is truly the forgotten woman, who history has side-lined. The woman who shared his loves, his sorrows, his triumphs, and his tragedies. Together since childhood, she knew the flaws and human frailties of the man behind the legend.

A moving story...,
By sowmya (Sunnyvale,CA,USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Forgotten Woman: The Untold Story of Kastur, Wife of Mahatma Gandhi (Hardcover)
A good attempt by Arun Gandhi to tell the world more about *the woman* behind the succesful Man,Mahatma.But its more an account of Gandhiji's life and then and there he sheds light on Kasturbhai Gandhi which I am sure anybody would know by reading "My Experiments with Truth" by Gandhiji.But its still a good biography to read about the Gandhi family.

Wonderful Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Forgotten Woman: The Untold Story of Kastur, Wife of Mahatma Gandhi (Hardcover)
A wonderful and important book that tells the story of Kastur Gandhi, the wife of Mahatma Gandhi. It is important that people know that Gandhi's wife played a part in helping to - peacefully - gain independence for India. I have met the authors and they are wonderful people.

Giving a look at the human side of the legend of peace and non-violence,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Forgotten Woman (Paperback)
Side by side, some people's strength comes from that support. "The Forgotten Woman: The Untold Story of Kastur Gandhi" takes a new look at Mahatma Gandhi by looking at the woman by his side through the thick and thin of it. Giving a look at the human side of the legend of peace and non-violence, "The Forgotten Woman" is an interesting and enlightening look at the motivations behind one of the most important figures of the twentieth century.
