Rameshwari Nehru, Purdah, Emancipation, Stree DarpanAbstract [English]
Rameshwari Nehru came from a very orthodox family where purdah system was observed very strictly. Having been denied formal education, however Rameshwari Nehru was able to make a deep mark in the pages of history by her relentless efforts to bring about the emancipation of women in the society. In this respect her journal Stree Darpan played a notable role. This paper is a humble attempt to narrate the activities of Rameshwari Nehru for the cause of Indian women.
