By shedding light on this forgotten legacy, the paper underscores the need to integrate these narratives into mainstream historical discourse, recognizing the pivotal role of women as architects of India’s independence and advocates of social transformation. The role of women in India’s freedom struggle is an inspiring yet often overlooked chapter in the nation’s history. This paper seeks to highlight the immense contributions made by women in shaping the trajectory of India’s fight for independence. From early reformers like Savitribai Phule, who championed education and social reform, to revolutionaries like Bhikaiji Cama and Durga Devi Vohra, women from diverse backgrounds demonstrated courage, leadership, and resilience. The study explores their participation in grassroots movements, their role in mass mobilizations like the Non-Cooperation Movement and Quit India Movement, and their engagement in revolutionary activities. It also examines the challenges they faced in navigating societal norms and breaking through patriarchal barriers to assert their political agency.
