Women in the Freedom Struggle

Women played a crucial role in the freedom struggle against colonial rule across various countries, most notably in India. They participated in protests, organized movements, and mobilized communities, often facing societal challenges and repression. Notable figures include leaders like Sarojini Naidu and Bhikaiji Cama, who inspired others with their courage. Women’s involvement not only contributed to the fight for independence but also challenged traditional gender roles, paving the way for future activism in social reforms and equality. Their contributions highlight the importance of inclusivity in historical narratives of resistance and independence.
