Edwina Crane is a British woman who first comes to India as a governess and decides to become a teacher in the missionary schools, eventually rising to the position of superintendent of the district. She is unmarried. Miss Crane, as she is referred to, eventually commits suicide after becoming disillusioned with British colonial rule in India.
