Answer 2

Women also participated in large scale in the Civil

Disobedience Movement during the salt march by

Gandhiji. They belonged to the high caste families

from the urban areas and rich peasant households

from the rural areas. For them it was a sacred duty to serve the nation. But the Congress was not willing to

give them any position of authority in the organisation

and that’s why Gandhiji said that women should look

after the domestic chores and be good mothers and

wives.
