  3. SAROJINI NAIDU Sarojini Naidu was born in Hyderabad in what was British India in 1879. Educated in both India and England, she went on to become a crucial voice in the movement for Indian independence as well as a respected poet and advocate for women's rights. She was the first woman to be the Governor of an Indian state and also the first Indian woman to be the President of the Indian National Congress. By the time of her death in 1949, she had served as a politician in India and become known as the 'Nightingale of India' or 'Bharat Kokila' for her poetry. 'Indian Weavers' is taken from her first full-length collection, The Golden Threshold, which was published in 1905.
