The book starts and ends with a complaint by the author about why white people haven't yet colonized Tibet, and begs them to send over missionaries. So it's no surprise that the rest of the book is filled with Manifest Destiny stuff and condescendingly exoticizes of all the Tibetans. She even goes as far as to say "the Oriental mind is simple" or some slight variation of that. Rivals Rudyard Kipling in racism.
