Catholic Visionaries and Women's Empowerment in North India answers lots of questions, and stimulates new ones. Originally conceived as a source book of history of the Congregation of Jesus and Mary, the author widens its scope and coverage to embrace women education in North India. The Catholic visionaries began to initiate empowermentoriented quality education for women in North India. The historic contributions made by the educational institutions of the Congregation of Jesus and Mary attest to its persistent endeavour to the quality of education. Incontrovertibly, these institutions could possibly be the earliest, pathbreaking, and historic initiative in North India in the field of women education. These indomitable visionaries could transcend the deeply embedded formal colonial divides of caste, class, gender and race through empowermentoriented quality education to all sections of the society.
