Description:
Two autobiographical essays by Margaret Moore Gottlieb, daughter of American
missionaries in India. The first is typewritten and recounts the author's
life, beginning in 1937, when she was studying at Wooster College in Wooster,
Ohio. Subsequently, this essay recounts the story of Margaret Moore
Gottlieb's married life, to Sid Gottlieb, including their rural lifestyle in
Northern Virginia, the raising of their four children, their later years
spent traveling and volunteering in Australia, Africa, and India, a five-year
stint spent residing in Santa Cruz, California, and finally their move back
to Northern Virginia. In the second essay, titled "The Anguish of India," the
author recounts her childhood and adolescence living in a rural town in
India, her feelings about missionary work, her sentiments toward the greater
culture she encountered in India, and her thoughts about this culture after
returning forty years later to work for a time in a mission hospital.
