LibriVox recording of The Golden Threshold by Sarojini Naidu. Read in English by Gilles G. Le Blanc; Vann Lantz; Zeeshan Reshamwala; JemmaBlythe; Anusha Iyer; Josh Kirsh Sarojini Naidu was a remarkable woman. Known as the Nightingale of India, she started writing at the age of thirteen and throughout her life composed several volumes of poetry, writing many poems which are still famous to this day. As well as being a poet, Naidu was an activist and politician, campaigning for Indian independence and became the first Indian woman to attain the post of President of the Indian National Congress. This volume contains the beautiful 'Indian Love-Song', as well as many other moving verses. All of them give insight into the heart and mind of this hugely important and influential woman. The poems are split into three categories: Folk Songs, Songs for Music and Poems. - Summary by Lucy Perry
