Summary: Gandhi on Women: My feeling is that if men of the Congress can retain their faith in ahimsa and prosecute the non-violence programme faithfully and fully, the women would be automatically converted. And it may be that there shall arise one among tem who will be able to go much farther than I can ever hope to do. For women is more fitted than man to make explorations, and take bolder action in ahimsa. For the courage of self-sacrifice woman is any day superior to man as I believe man is to woman for the courage of the brute. Refuse to be the slaves of your own whims and fancies, and the slaves of men. Refuse to decorate yourselves, dont go in for scents and lavender waters if you want to give out the proper scent, it must come out of your heart, and then you will captivate not man, but humanity. It is your birthright. Man is born of woman, he is flesh of her flesh and bone of her bone. Come to your own and deliver your message again.
