The Indomitable Spirit: Women in the Indian National Movement and Their Enduring Legacy

Abstract

This paper delves into the multifaceted roles played by women in the Indian National Movement, highlighting their contributions beyond the domestic sphere. It scrutinizes how their active participation in the struggle for independence, often challenging patriarchal norms, shaped the trajectory of women's rights and influenced the lives of modern Indian women. Utilizing statistical data, historical analysis, and contemporary observations, the paper argues that while the movement provided a significant impetus for women's empowerment, its legacy remains complex and multifaceted, with ongoing struggles for equality intertwined with remarkable strides in various fields.
