You will learn about the experiences of British women (the Memsahibs) who lived in India in the Raj era that ended in 1947. It will cover topics such as their efforts to join their husbands – or to get one.

This class is partly based on instructor Joan Gaughan’s book, ‘Incumberances’: British Women in India 1615-1856. You are not required to obtain the book. This study group for those 50 and over will meet for two hours on Mondays, from November 7 through November 28.
