The Queen's Daughters in India - Gyan Books

About The Book: The Queen’s Daughters in India (1899), by Elizabeth Wheeler Andrew and Katharine Bushnell, exposes the harsh realities faced by Indian women under British colonial rule, particularly focusing on state-regulated prostitution and the abuse of women in so-called “Christian” governed areas. The book documents how British policies, especially the Contagious Diseases Acts, enabled systemic exploitation and sexual slavery. It criticizes the moral hypocrisy of colonial authorities and calls for urgent reforms. Through firsthand investigation and advocacy, the authors challenge both imperial and missionary complicity, urging Christian women in Britain to rise against such injustices and support the protection and dignity of Indian women.
