| Publisher Description: "Speeches and Writings of Sarojini Naidu" is a 1925 work that includes a wide selection of Sarojini Naidu's speeches and other assorted writings. Contents include: "Nilambuja", "True Brotherhood", "Personal Element in Spiritual Life", "Education of Indian Women", "A Plea for Social Reform", "Hindu and Mussalmans", "Mrs. Ghandi", "In Memoriam: Gokhale", "The Children's Tribute to Gokhale", etc. Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) was an Indian political activist and poet. She was a staunch proponent of women's emancipation, civil rights, and anti-imperialistic ideas, playing an important role in India's struggle for independence from colonial rule. Her work as a poet includes both children's poems and others with more mature themes including patriotism, romance, and tragedy, earning her the sobriquet "Nightingale of India". Her most famous work is "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad" (1912), which remains widely read to this day. Other notable works by this author include: "The Broken Wing - Songs of Love, Death & Destiny" (1917) and "Muhammad Jinnah: An Ambassador of Unity" (1919). This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from 'Studies of Contemporary Poets' by Mary C. Sturgeon. |
