THE CEASELESS CRUSADER

Who said, ‘Frailty, thy name is woman’?

Mahatma Gandhi was a ceaseless crusader of women’s equality. He brought

the women out of their homes and made them equal participants in all walks of life
– social as well as political. His entourage always consisted of several women and
many of his closest associates were women. Under Gandhi’s leadership thousands
of women took leading roles in several movements. Gandhi never considered
women to be unfit for any position or task. Because of Gandhi’s support and
initiative, women’s groups were formed all over India and there was hardly a week
when Gandhi did not address a women’s group. It was mainly because of Gandhi
that the first Cabinet of Independent India consisted of two women ministers. What
is significant here is his image of woman and his hope for her, so radically different
from that of any earlier reformer. He was not the first to address women’s issues
in India. Before the advent of Gandhi on the scene, the attitude to women, though
sympathetic, was patronising; leaders and social reform groups functioned in such a
way that made women look helpless. They wanted to protect, uplift and bring relief to
women. No doubt there was value in all of it. Yet, with Gand

Cuckfield Connections

Thanks to detective work by Elizabeth Denlinger of the New York Public Library, Cuckfield Connections has learned for the first time that Cuckfield featured in Percy Bysshe Shelley's poetry and that one of its residents was crucial in progressing his writing career.

Percy Bysshe Shelley was as controversial and divisive individual as in his poetry. But he did not achieve full recognition for his literary work during his lifetime, but this grew steadily after his death and would influence future poets such as Browning, Swinburne, Hardy and Yeats.

Cuckfield's attraction to the poet comes about through a resident Captain John Pilfold, who has featured in Cuckfield Connections before. Now please bear with me - because these inter-family relationships get complicated!

Captain John Pilfold, had a sister, Elizabeth who was married to Sir Timothy Shelley. On 4 August 1792 at their home called Field Place, in Broadbridge Heath, near Horsham (sometimes inaccurately described as Warnham) Timothy and Elizabeth welcomed into the world a son they called Percy Bysshe - who would become the famous poet.

Growing up in Sussex

Shelley’s early childhood was sheltered and mostly happy. He was close to his sisters and his mother
