Feminism
Sahoo's fiction focuses on aspects of human experience, like puberty and menopause. She argues that women's sexual liberation was the real motive behind the "women's movement.Sahoo, Sarojini, Sensible Sensuality, Authors press, Delhi, , Accessed 4 September 2010."
Sahoo argues that orgasm is the body's natural call to feminist politics.
In South Asian Outlook, an e-magazine published from Canada, Menka Walia writes: "Sahoo typically evolves her stories around Indian women and sexuality, which is something not commonly written about, but is rather discouraged in a traditionalist society. As a feminist, she advocates women's rights and usually gives light to the injustices Eastern women face. In her interviews, she usually talks about the fact that women are second-class citizens in India, backing up these facts with examples of how love marriages are forbidden, the rejection of divorces, the unfairness of dowries, and the rejection of female politicians."
