Shubala: A Child Mother

by Cornelia Sorabji

Shubala - A Child-Mother By Cornelia Sorabji first published in 1920. A little pamphlet entitled “Shubala-A Child Mother” has been written by Miss Cornelia Sorabji with the object of helping the infant welfare work in aid of which the Exhibition at Delhi,opened by Lady Chemsford on Saturday, has been organised. If anything were needed to arouse the sympathy of the reader for the objects of this exhibition and of the League which Lady Chelmsford is initiating, it might be found in the poignant pathos of the stories told in this pamphlet.-- stories evidently founded on fact. The pity of them is enough to cause physical pain.
