Sarojini Naidu Born on February 13, 1879 in Hyderabad, Sarojini Naidu showed remarkable talent in writing from an early age. Her father Aghornath Chattopadhyay was a scientist and philosopher, while her mother Barada Sundari Devi was a poet. She received her education from King’s College, London and Girton College, Cambridge.
Sarojini Naidu argued that the nationalist cause could not be separated from the women’s liberation movement. She was involved with the Women’s Indian Association, which championed female suffrage and empowerment. In 1917 Naidu, English feminist Annie Besant, and Indian suffragist Herabai Tata led a delegation to discuss women’s right to vote with Edwin Montagu (secretary of state for India, 1917–22) and Lord Chelmsford, (viceroy of India, 1916–21). The Government of India Act that was eventually passed in 1919 gave Indian provincial councils the right to grant franchises to women.
