About Sarojini Naidu
Sarojini Naidu wrote English lyric poetry rooted in Indian landscapes, work, family, love and public aspiration. The Golden Threshold gathers poems written early in her life, before her later prominence in India’s independence movement, and its lines should be read as poetry rather than detached political slogans.
