Sarojini Naidu or Sarojini Chattopadhyaya (February 13, 1879, Hyderabad - March 2, 1949, Lucknow), also known by the sobriquet Bharatiya Kokila (The Nightingale of India), was a child prodigy, freedom fighter, and poet. Naidu was the first Indian woman to become the President of the Indian National Congress and the first woman to become the Governor of Uttar Pradesh.

She was active in the Indian Independence Movement, joining Mahatma Gandhi in the Salt March to Dandi, and then leading the Dharasana Satyagraha after the arrests of Gandhi, Abbas Tyabji, and Kasturba Gandhi.

This is the third volume of poetry she wrote, and I found it quite different from the other two. She has considerably less Indian imagery than she did in the first two volumes, though it's still there sometimes. Also, I noticed that this volume contains many more poems about heartbreak than the other two. I found these poems very relatable and they hit hard for me and I will be quoting them on my sad Twitter account.
