Empowerment through Freedom: Gandhi's Influence on Women in the Indian Independence Movement

Author(s) A. Jayalakshmi
Country India
Abstract This paper examines the transformative role of women in the Indian independence movement and the significant influence of Mahatma Gandhi in facilitating their empowerment. Traditionally confined to domestic spheres, women began to assert their agency and activism through participation in key movements such as the Non-Cooperation Movement, the Salt March, and the Quit India Movement. Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolence, self-rule, and inclusive nationalism provided a framework that not only mobilized women but also reframed their identities as active participants in the struggle for independence. This research highlights key figures, including Sarojini Naidu and Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, whose leadership exemplified the intertwined nature of gender and nationalism. The Salt March of 1930 served as a critical moment, illustrating the ability of women to challenge traditional gender roles and engage in civil disobedience, while the Quit India Movement of 1942 showcased their organizational strength and resilience in the face of oppression. Despite the triumph of independence, women confronted persistent patriarchal structures in post-colonial India, necessitating ongoing advocacy for gender equality and social justice. By acknowledging and analyzing women’s contributions to the independence movement, this study underscores the importance of integrating gender perspectives into historical narratives. Ultimately, the legacy of female empowerment during this period continues to inform contemporary discussions surrounding women's rights in India, illustrating the lasting impact of their participatory efforts on the broader quest for equality.
