“India has produced more saints per capita than any other culture in history, but why aren’t there any Indian women saints?”
‘Daughters of the Goddess’ begins with the author recounting this question, which she posed to a Pandit in India many years ago.
The Pandit was surprised. “There are thousands of lady saints in India. You think because there are no books about them, they do not exist.” This conversation seemed to have spurred Linda Johnsen into action, and serves as a backdrop to this fascinating and highly readable book.
