Extractions: by Allessandria Polizzi Eds. note: This ongoing feature in Feminist Collections suggests and evaluates key websites on particular topics. This review is from the Spring 1998 issue. The World Wide Web has become a popular source for information on a miscellany of topics, but the number of strong sites on women and poetry is surprisingly more limited than one would expect. The websites I found on this topic fall into two categories: those about women and poetry in general and those on specific poets. This review examines primarily the general type, since these websites often have links to pages focused on a single poet. I also include sites that provide viewers with both poets and fiction writers, although my review focuses on their poetry sections. Women Weave Their Words Reviewed: January 12, 1998 This website, which has won several awards (and rightly so), furnishes viewers with a lot of information about women and women's poetry. It is one of the most thorough sites I found on the Web, providing tips on writing poetry, some poems honoring grandmothers, links to sites accepting poetry submissions, and links to a wide number of individual poetry sites, among other things. Helpful for both the woman poet and the student interested in studying women s One of the pages on this site is titled Poetic Pages, which offers a lengthy list of links for those interested in women's poetry. The number of individual pages linked here creates a kind of community of women poets. The Womenfolk Featured Poetry page is also a nice place to read more women's poetry. Such elements make this site a worthwhile and fruitful source for women's poetry and for information on women poets.

Though Hindu women did not observe the purdah that the Muslim women were, by the dictates of Islam, expected to follow, they remained largely invisible, confined within their homes and away from the public gaze.[ ] The rightful place of women was within a domestic sphere performing assorted household duties related specifically to caring for family members including the primary tasks of child-bearing and child-rearing. It was quite uncommon for a middle-class Indian woman to set aside her veil and expose herself to the outside world or participate in activities and debates in a public domain. A Bengali Woman in England ] was published in Calcutta in August 1885 in crown octavo format. The hand-written manuscript was sent to her publisher (Satyaprasad Sarbadhikari) and he apologizes for errors that may have crept in. He mentions that the printed proof-copies of the pages could not be corrected by the writer herself as she was still in residence in England. Interestingly, the authors name did not appear anywhere in the publication. England has a close bond with India, one that had been almost destined; if India wants to search for the ingredients to create that elixir that would revive a dead nation, it would have to revert back inevitably to England itself.

Extractions: Sarojini Naidu was born in Hyderabad, of a Bengali Brahmin family. Her father, Dr Aghorenath Chattopadhya, was an educationist and a leading scientist. Her mother, though not as well known as her father, was something of a poet and is said to have had a strong influence on Sarojini. After matriculating from Hyderabad, Sarojini went to England, studying at Kings College, London and Girton, Cambridge. However, she fell ill and had to return to India in 1898, the year in which year she also married. She became a nationalist and supporter of women's rights early in life, working with the Congress, the Muslim League, and the Indian Social Conference. Among the various campaigns to redress the lot of women that she was involved in were campaigns for widow remarriages and women's education and suffrage, i.e. their right to vote. In 1914 she volunteered to work with Gandhi.
