Abstract
Sarojini Naidu symbol of Indian womanhood and a great freedom fighter was born
at the time wherein the woman's role was cast in narrow mould, hemmed in with all
sorts of restrictions. 1 However Sarojini Naidu "through her eloquent oratory and
strategic campaign against British domination and for sexual equality, actively
proved to her traditionally male oriented society that women as well as men could be
leaders and responsible citizens in times of turmoil and in times of peace. " Though
there were some women who took up the cause of women to fight for their rights, it
was Sarojini Naidu who provided the thrust which was needed to advance the
treatment of women in India. Being a modern 'liberated' woman, she made
relentless efforts for the cause of women 's emancipation.
