Throughout history, women have walked the spiritual path despite thorns placed in their way by patriarchy, discrimination and unequal opportunities. This is the story of one such woman, Sri Anandamayi Ma, a dutiful housewife in early twentieth-century India who went on to become a beloved mystic and teacher. She did not rebel against social norms, or even her own femininity, but so powerful was the evidence of her personal attainment that she came to be accepted and adored as a leading spiritual light of the day.
