2-Minute Revision

Naidu combined literary reputation with organisational and campaign leadership. Her Congress presidency needs the Indian qualifier, and her Dharasana role must be distinguished from Gandhi's original Dandi march. Her career illustrates political agency and changing institutions, while wider barriers to women's participation require separate assessment.

5-Minute Revision

Create a timeline that labels each entry as publication, party office, campaign or constitutional office. Then write two sentences explaining how Naidu's career demonstrates women's agency without proving universal equality. Check that the Dandi and Dharasana roles and the two Congress-presidency firsts remain distinct.
