Sarojini Naidu was the first Indian woman to become the president of the Indian National Congress. She was elected in 1925.

Naidu was a poet, women's rights activist, and freedom fighter. She was born in Hyderabad in 1879 and studied at the University of Madras and Girton College, Cambridge. She joined the Indian National Congress in 1898 and quickly became a prominent leader.

Naidu was a strong advocate for Indian independence and for the rights of women. She participated in the Salt Satyagraha and other non-violent protests against British rule. She was also a member of the Constituent Assembly of India, which drafted the country's constitution.

Naidu's presidency of the Indian National Congress was a significant moment in Indian history. She was the first woman to hold this position, and her election was a sign of the growing importance of women in the freedom struggle. She was also a popular and respected leader, and her presidency helped to unite the Congress party.

Naidu died in 1949, just two years after India gained independence. She is remembered as one of the most important figures in the Indian independence movement.
