Write a short note on the role of women in nationalist struggle. |
| Answer» \tWomen actively participated in movements, faced the tortures of police, stood by their male counterparts, spread the idea of liberal nationalism and also were members of various revolutionary organisations. They faced the torture of police but still, they stood by their male counterparts.\tThe issue of extending political rights to women was a controversial one within the liberal movement, in which large numbers of women had participated actively over the years.\tWomen had formed their own political associations, founded newspapers and taken part in political meetings and demonstrations. Despite this, they were denied suffrage during the election of the Assembly. They were given little or no political rights or the right to vote till the end of the 19th century. | |
