Shubala: A Child-Mother is a novel written by Cornelia Sorabji and first published in 1920. The story revolves around the life of a young girl named Shubala, who is forced to marry at a very young age and becomes a mother before she is even a teenager. The novel explores the themes of child marriage, motherhood, and the struggles of women in a patriarchal society.Shubala, the protagonist of the story, is a bright and curious girl who dreams of going to school and becoming a teacher. However, her dreams are shattered when she is married off to a much older man. Her husband is abusive and neglectful, and she is forced to take care of their child on her own. Shubala’s struggles are compounded by the fact that she is illiterate and has no support from her family or community.Despite these challenges, Shubala remains resilient and determined to change her fate. She learns to read and write with the help of a sympathetic teacher and begins to advocate for herself and other women in her community. Through her struggles, Shubala becomes a symbol of hope and resilience for women everywhere.Sorabji’s novel sheds light on the plight of child brides and the challenges faced by women in a patriarchal society. It is a powerful and moving work that calls for social change and gender equality. Shubala: A Child-Mother is a must-read for anyone interested in women’s rights, social justice, and the power of resilience in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
