Abstract

In the nineteenth century women education started to move forward which became very swift in the twentieth century. This incident in the long run proved to be a motive force of progressive attitude among the Bengali Women and it did a lot to involve them in contemporary politics and social reform movement. This factor gradually made them conscious about their rights and pushed them in various protest movements1. When the people of India were some way or other concerned on the issues of Swadeshi movement, then the women society as a whole could not remain silent. On the one hand, they started demanding their rights and on the other, they began to respond actively to various political agitations2. Bengali women (literate-illiterate) took part in the political activities having being inspired by the patriotic ideals. They showed their braveness both in the violent and non-violent struggles. From the beginning of the twentieth century women’s participation in the politics increased and this is justified with the participation of women in the fifth Indian National Congress held in 1889. For example, namely Kadambini Ganguli, wife of Dwarakanath Ganguli and Swarna kumari Debi, wife of Janakinath Ghoshal who participated in this session of the Indian National Congress in Bombay.  In 1901, two hundred women delegates were present in the Calcutta Congress session. In 1902, one thousand male and fifty female delegates were present in the National Congress session in Ahmedabad.3 In fact, women participated in the politics because of the growth of consciousness of nationalism among the educated women.
