Sister Nivedita made a career in literature at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Sister Nivedita as Scots-Irish social worker, author, teacher and disciple of Swami Vivekananda.
Sister Nivedita was born at County Tyrone in 1867. Her recorded nationality is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.
She worked as writer, social worker and teacher.
Literature is judged by re-reading, which is a slower and harsher test than acclaim.
Her recorded fields of work are social work and new education movement.
Working from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have her, the language the work first appeared in.
Sister Nivedita died in 1911, aged 44. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
