Throughout the existence of humans, women have been reprimanded, oppressed, and have been completely controlled by the male population. Women have been degraded, oppressed, and controlled with no room for retribution. Whether it is an over-controlling father, or an abusive husband, women have had barely any say in what happened to them. They were robots-child bearers, and housewives before they were persons. Only during the 20th century did women start to make an impact and gain some headway towards gender equality. As opportunities occurred women reached, grasped and seized them. They used these opportunities to their full potential. The role of women in WW1, the Person’s Case, and the Famous Five, were all-important turning points in the

In the war of independence many people focus on the generals and the everyday men fighting for their independence and the struggles which they endured during the war such as the lack of supplies. However people seem to forget the women in this war, who also suffered for their country and they did their part on and off the battlefield. Also during the fight against Britain we had foreign allies which aide us on the battle field. Both women and our foreign allies are often forgotten in our fight for independence.

Women’s contributions and struggle have added richness to the history of America. However, women in 20th century did not reach the level they should have. The women were viewed as the one responsible for domestic chores only. They were believed to be the property of their man and were suppose to follow their “master’s orders”. Men believed in the inferiority of the women. But there have been many inspiring historical female figures in the past who struggled immensely, sacrificing to accomplish their goals for causes which include women’s suffrage and equal rights for all types of people. There were many remarkable and memorable women who changed

Women are a part of the present, the past and the future. They are leaders, mothers, creators, healers, believers, heroes, teachers and muses. They are from different race, origins, beliefs and education. Underated and put on the side from the beginning since the idea of “founding fathers”.

Unfortunately, after the trip to Dandi, Gandhi was arrested as a consequence for the execution of Salt March along with the other protesters who were involved in “buying, selling, or making salt” (Gold 86). However, while being held captive, a poet and a close associate of Gandhi, Mrs. Sarojini Naidu, took an advantage of the new attention that the Satyagrahis and Gandhi had aroused by leading another protest on the Dharsana Salt Works, which caused intense physical harm to the protestors. Anne Todd asserts that as a leader of this particular protest, Naidu inspired and reminded the Satyagrahis that even though “Gandhi’s body is in jail…his soul is with you. India’s prestige is in your hands. You must not use any violence under any circumstances. You will be beaten but you must not resist; you must not even raise a hand to ward off blows” (66). As the demonstrators approached the site, they encountered the British police officers who were trying to block them and were brutally bashing these Indians with “five-foot-long steel-tipped clubs” (Todd 66). Despite the British’ effort, these satyagrahis relentlessly marched forward.

The role of woman in Hinduism is often disputed and positions range from quite reasonable to highly antagonistic.

Hindu women within this religion would view themselves as an important part of the family, but this is not shown through the contents of the Manusmriti. The Manusmriti directly translated is “Laws of Manu,” or “Institutions of Manu,” is regarded as the foundational

The role of women in the Mahabharata makes an interesting and fascinating study providing insight into the strengths and weaknesses of their character. In the Mahabharata, four women play pivotal role in the course of events. The men play dice and wage wars in Mahabharata, as anywhere else; but it is the women who hold power and influence. It is the women who direct the course of events and unconsciously determine the fate of men and their generations to follow. The women are the true leaders of the Epic. These women displayed that the truly powerful do not cling to power. They knew when and how to wield it but also, even more important, to when not to use it.

She is fondly remembered as Durga who won India its first decisive military victory in centuries and the strong stateswoman who had the courage to look at the American bullying in the eye and not blink.
