Answers
Dear student,
1. Ans = The theory of "homosocial reproduction" points to a trend where those in high position tend to pick the employees who have similar social backgrounds as their own for advancement. Since the majority of managers are men, women are less chosen for career advancement and thus occupational inequality increases.
2. Ans = The Women's suffrage movement in India fought for Indian women's right to political enfranchisement. Beyond suffrage, the movement was fighting for women's right to stand for and hold office. In 1918, when Britain granted limited suffrage to women property holders, the law did not apply to British citizens in other parts of the Empire. Despite petitions presented by women and men to the British commissions sent to evaluate Indian voting regulations, women's demands were ignored in the Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms. In 1919, impassioned pleas and reports indicating support for women to have the vote were presented by suffragists to the India Office and before the Joint Select Committee of the House of Lords and Commons, who were meeting to finalize the electoral regulation reforms of the Southborough Franchise Committee. Though they were not granted voting rights, nor the right to stand in elections, the Government of India Act 1919 allowed Provincial Councils to determine if women could vote, provided they met stringent property, income, or educational levels.
3. Ans = True Freedom For Women Will Remain A Myth Until Society Can Agree On Equal Rights For Them. Until society is able to see women as independent individuals with equal rights, we would still need women-centric laws. Until then, freedom is a myth.
4. Ans = Vidyasagar: The Brilliant Man Who Stood Up For The Women of 19th Century India. A Sanskrit scholar who never shied away from challenging orthodoxy, #Vidyasagar vigorously fought against child marriage, defended women's right to education, and played a pivotal role in passing the Widow Remarriage Act.
