- The Indian independence movement was a series of historic events with the ultimate aim of ending British rule in India, lasting from 1857-1947. Women played a pivotal role in achieving India's independence. However, their lives, struggles, and contributions to the movement are never recognized at the same level of prominence as that of the men of the movement. Additionally, their names are seldom heard when discussing the independence movement, or mentioned in brief. Woman’s participation in India’s freedom struggle started as early as 1817. Bhima Bai Holkar fought against the British Colonel Malcolm and defeated him in guerrilla warfare. Throughout the twentieth century, numerous women continued to contribute to the movement through military leadership, political leadership, and social activism. Pritilata Waddedar was a member of the Chittagong-based Indian Republican Army, who died on September 24, 1932 after successfully leading a siege on the Pahartali European Club in Chittagong. Sarojini Naidu was an Indian political activist and poet. A proponent of civil rights, women's emancipation, and anti-imperialistic ideas, she was an important figure in India's struggle for independence from colonial rule. Rani Lakshmibai, also known as Jhansi Ki Rani, was born in 1835. She was one of the leading figures of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and became a symbol of resistance to the British Raj for Indian nationalists. Kasturba Gandhi was an Indian political activist.
