Gandhi 's civil disobedience, in 1930 found wonderful response from these womens ,who rallied before the bethune collage, Calcutta.The British police thwarted them with arrest and even attempt of strandring them in unknown , remote place , nevertheless , the aid of their fellow assiociate ensured that security.

Santi and suniti ,two schools girls from coomila ,fired Magistrate Stevens to death on December 14,1931. They were elated at the thought of becoming the first women martyrs and when they heard the news of their sentences of prison that death ,they were dejected .It seemed that nationalism ,was burning in the blood of Indian women.

One of the most important features of the Civil Disobedience Movement was the large scale participation of women.
During Gandhiji’s salt march, thousands of women participated in marches, manufactured salt and picketed foreign cloth and liquor shops. Many went to jail.
In urban areas, these women were from high caste educated family e.g. Sarojini Naidu, Satyavati Devi, Kamala Nehru, Vijaylakshmi Pandit, Kasturba Gandhi, etc. In rural areas, women came from rich peasant households.
Bengal being the nerve centre of female education in India, increased the women’s participation in nationalism. In 1930, women rallied before Bethune College, Calcutta in support of Gandhiji’s Civil Disobedience Movement.
In Bombay, large section of women of Gujarati community was influenced by Gandhiji’s idealism and participated in National Movement. But all these participation were symbolic as women did not hold any position of authority for a long time.

During Gandhiji's salt march ,1000s of women came out of their homes to listen to him. 
They participated in protest marches ,manufactured salt, picketed foreign cloth and liquor shops.Many went to jail. 
This was how women participated in the Civil Dis-obedience movement. 
Yet,this incresaed public role did not bring any radical change in the position of women.
