Sarajubala Sen

[1] After Basantrajan's death, Sen married again, this time to Das' widowed brother-in-law Saratchandra Sen.[2] He was a staunch nationalist.

[2] Whilst Sen was in England, the country was undergoing political unrest prior to the First World War and this experience had an effect on her writing.

[3] Debottar Vishwanatya (The Superdivine Play of the Universe) was written in 1916 and is a metaphysical drama depicting the struggle of peasant workers.

[2] What is striking about this play is the feminist dimensions of it: the heroine rejects marriage and features comments about the struggle working women have over child-care.

Sarajubala was also actively involved in the nationalist cause on at least one occasion, singing a song by Tagore at a public meeting attended by Bipin Chandra Pal.
