Bangalakshmi was the mouthpiece of the Saroj Nalini Nari Mangal Samiti of Calcutta [Kolkata], led by Hemlata Thakur, who was also its chief editor. The journal primarily focused on women and their priorities, with a number of female contributors. It published poems, novels, short stories and plays along with essays, commentaries, speeches, reminiscences, travelogues, biographical accounts and obituaries. It also brought out regular reports on the activities and programs of the Samiti. Being a journal run by women with a focus on women’s issues, it was natural that women writers dominated the contributors’ list. They included Hemlata Thakur, Ashapurna Devi, Indumati Bhattacharya, Kamala Devi, Khhonoprobha Bhaduri, Jyotirmoyee Devi, Indira Devi, Pushpa Devi, and Hiranmayee Basu.
