. Women’s Participation In Freedom Movement of India
Abstract
The low states of women as reflected in social evils like infanticide, Sati pratha, ill treatment to widows, polygamy, child marriage and denied of property right to women attracted attention of nineteenth century reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ishwar Chander Vidyasagar, Dwarka Nath Tagore,Keshav Chander Sen, Swami Dayanand, Swami Viveknand and other. Various socio-reform moments including Brahma Samaj, Prathana Samaj, Arya Samaj ,Ramakrishana mission and many others work hard for the amelioration of the position of women. They emphasized the necessity of social reforms, but their work was more or less localized. They were also able to stir-up the intelligentia. But by and large there message reached the local and provincial levels. And with there disappearance in many cases, the movement either came to standstill or was directed to some other activity.
