Role of Women in Freedom Movement

Women played a vital role in transforming the freedom struggle into a mass movement, inspired by the vision of Bharat Mata. During the Non-Cooperation Movement (1920–1922), women boycotted British goods, promoted khadi, participated in marches, and even courted imprisonment.

In the Salt Satyagraha (1930), leaders like Sarojini Naidu and Kamala Nehru spearheaded protests, picketed salt shops, and brought rural women into the mainstream struggle. In the Quit India Movement (1942), women organised rallies, spread nationalist messages, ran underground radios, and kept the movement alive during the arrest of male leaders.
