Answer

Participating in the Civil Disobedience Movement as a woman was a transformative and empowering experience, shaping various aspects of my life. For the first time, I was doing something different from my household chores. I was outside my home in the company of great people and for a great reason. I was there for my motherland. My participation in Civil Disobedience movement gave a meaning to my life and a direction to my thoughts. I had heard Gandhiji speaking and asking us to participate in this movement. I feel service to the nation is our sacred duty. Inspired by him, I also offered Satyagraha, picketed liquor shops and shops selling foreign cloth and also courted arrest. I felt empowered by these activities and felt that women also can help the men in the ultimate goal of achieving independence from the British. But sometimes I felt that women should make more efforts and make their place among the big political names.
