Gandhi ji was convinced that it was the duty of the women to look after the home, he good mothers and wives. And for a long time Congress was reluctant to allow women to hold any position of authority within the organization. It was own only on their symbolic presence. Women participated in protest marches, manufactured salts, picketed foreign clothes and liquor shops. Many went to jail. In urban areas, these women were from high caste families whereas in rural areas, they came from rich pleasant households. Moved by Gandhi Ji's call, they began to see service to the nation a sacred duty of women. Yet this increased public role did not necessarily mean any radical change in the way the position of women was visualized
