“I am a physician poet and am an American of Indian origin. I use my poetry to convey my thoughts on various themes such as health, education , empathy , women's empowerment and societal well being. In this poem I have tried to convey the power of a woman her, resilience , strength and a sense of duty which resonate with the suffrage movement.”

Liberty, Equality, Peace, Compassion .My beloved mother was a French professor who taught me and my sister the value of education and the importance of giving back to society . I have been inspired by the stories of Elizabeth Blackwell , Marie Curie and Sojourner Truth women who have shattered glass ceilings, broken barriers to pave the way for women and girls to follow their dreams and improve the lives of so many in the communities they live and work in.
