Question

Why was congress reluctant to allow women to hold any position of authority within the organisation and how did women participate in civil disobedience movement?

Answer 1

During Gandhiji’s salt march, thousands of women came out of their homes to listen to him.They participated in protest marches, manufactured salt, andpicketed foreign cloth and liquor shops.Many went to jail.In urban areas these women were from high-caste families; in rural areas they came from rich peasant households.Moved by Gandhiji’s call, they began to see service to the nation as a sacred duty of women.Yet, this increased public role did not necessarily mean any radical change in the way the position of women was visualised.
