Title:
Margaret Moore Gottlieb auto-biographical essays.
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.
