Abstract
This thesis explores the creation of masculinity in Victorian England and its application in the British Empire in India, then uses that information as background for looking into women's roles in British India--mother, doctor, individual--that differed from roles created and practiced in Britain. The research borrows from both social history and gender theory. The resulting argument is that the British presence in India gave British women a chance to act as individuals in a way they would probably have been denied in England, and that men created this freedom for women with no plan to do so but also with no other option.
