Only
Madame Gandhi Is an
Active Leader Among
The Women of India
"Madame Gandhi has earned her
leadership," said Mrs. Frederick B.
Fisher in an interview yesterday,
"not only because of her illustri-
ous husband but through her tre-
mendous sacrifices to the cause of
Indian freedom." Mrs. Fisher had
spoken about Madame Gandhi be-
fore the Colony Club of Detroit on
Tuesday.
"She was a Brahman woman
which is the highest caste in In-
dia," Mrs. Fisher continued, "but
she and her husband took up a
life in which they lived on a peas-
ant's wage which is about eleven
cents a day." Mrs. Fisher explain-
ed what a difficult matter it was
for a woman of Madame Gandhi's
standing to grant her husband's
request when he asled her to adopt
an outcast girl. She finally did it
because she has such an intense
belief in Indian democracy, and
today the girl is a member of
Gandhi's family.
Mrs. Fisher told of the Gandhi
family in South Africa where Ma-
dame Gandhi was an active leader
among the Indian women. She was
one of the 3,000 persons who
marched from Natal to Transvaal
in an effort to free the indentured
Indian slaves in Africa. At that
time they were living at Phoenix
in a cooperative community.
Today Madame Gandhi lives
with her husband in a small group
of about one hundred and fifty
families which are drawn together
because of spiritual and political
beliefs.
