If we were to speak from a general point of view about
            Naidu's work, I think that we can draw some references from Romanticism.  The lyrical
            nature of her work is highly Romantic.  When she asserts that her voice is akin to
            birds' singing, one is reminded of how the Romantic thinkers saw poetry, nature, and
            individual voice as nearly inseparable.  The fact that Naidu did not flee from her
            culture and integrated it openly in her writing is also Romantic.  It is akin to
            Romanticism because it seeks to bring the subjective experience into one's work and
            because it also does not hesitate to bringing a new narrative into the discussion,
            widening the understanding of the discourse.  Romantic thinkers were driven and animated
            by the idea of including more voices and Naidu sought to bring her Indian voice into her
            work.  Finally, similar to Lord Byron and other Romantic thinkers who pledged their
            loyalty to political causes as an extension of their work, Naidu was highly active in
            the Indian struggle for Independence and the need to bring unity to the subcontinent
            schism between Hindus and Muslims.
