A Woman's Work With Gurdjieff, Ramana Maharshi, Krishnamurti, Anandamayi Ma & Pak Subuh
Based on Ethel Merston's candid memoir, A Woman's Work chronicles her journey of self-transformation from privileged Victorian England to India. A resonant and engaging account of a spiritual seeker whose inner struggles, confusions and insights are recounted as she meets many of the key figures of her time. --The Gurdjieff JournalI found Ethel Merston's life story fascinating. The narrative completely absorbed me and I was captivated from the first sentence by both substance as well as style. Ethel Merston was an exceptional individual and it is wonderful that her story has finally been told. An important work with considerable research. --Ram Alexander, Editor,Death Must Die: A Western Woman's Life-Long Spiritual Quest with Shree Anandamayee MaThere are few comprehensive accounts of individual Western pioneers who were interested in Indian spirituality in the first part of the 20th century. Ethel Merston left an intimate record of her journey as she constantly questioned and searched for a remedy to relieve the malady of her soul. We owe to Mary Ellen Korman our appreciation for chronicling that time and bringing to life many of the people Ethel Merston encountered, and who we never quite knew as fellow seekers committed to the search for higher truths. --The Mountain Path, The Journal of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi
