First review

[edit]

This article is well-written, well-organized and adequately sourced. However, I'm failing it because I don't think it's comprehensive enough.

To wit, it feels like it ends midway through. The biography section is thorough, but ... I want to know more about her legacy and impact on Hinduism and more specifically the role of women in it. It's been almost four centuries since she her life ... have other religious figures drawn inspiration from her, commented on her or whatever. Have feminists?

I mean, when I read stories like this I have to wonder about these questions. The article can and should deal with them if it is to be considered a GA. Daniel Case (talk) 16:08, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
