Girl Power - India ?

“Sarojini Naidu, the first woman President of the Indian National congress, was elected in 1925, fifty years earlier than the election of the first woman leader of major British political party (Margaret Thatcher in 1975). The second woman ahead of the Indian National Congress, Nellie Sengupta, was elected in 1933”

Whoever said women were a marginalized lot in India?
