ABOUT THIS BOOK:
In her autobiography Krishna Nehru told something of her harsh experience in jail. Like her distinguished brother, Jawaharlal Nehru, and all other members of their family, she was imprisoned for her political activity. Now she tells in more detail what life was like in a prison for women, and gives vivid pen-pictures of twelve women she came to know there. Of these, some were "politicals" like herself. But she took the greatest interest in the "criminals," such as Durgi (who poisoned her cruel husband) the drunkard, the prostitute, the matricide, and in the hardened convict wardress. This is a book such as we have not had before from India. And in the microcosm of an Indian prison we see light shed on the life of womankind the world over.(Publisher).

Sobre Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
