Shortly after providing a voice for silenced women through her poetry, Naidu entered the political realm. In 1914, Gandhi and Naidu gathered for the very first time in London to discuss protests against British enactment that would tax Indian people and force them to carry passes. The reunion would lead them to the establishment of their friendship. Her relationship with Gandhi influenced the approach she would take in her political life as she worked very closely with him. In 1925 Naidu became the first woman President of the Indian National congress[2]
She is considered to have “intentionally blurred the established boundaries between political rhetoric and lyric poetry.”[3]
An aspect of Naidu's work as an Indian politician was her work in the Women’s Indian Association, paralleling the movement to the Indian Independence Movement.
