The Golden Threshold

First published in 1905, “The Golden Threshold” is a beautiful collection of poetry by freedom fighter and poet Sarojini Naidu (1879– 1949). Contents include: “Folk Songs”, “Songs for Music”, and “Poems”. Naidu 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 written on more serious themes including patriotism, romance, and tragedy, earning her the sobriquet “Nightingale of India”.
