Document Summary
It talks about how women who were being beaten by. Women"s movements were not just for themselves, but often participated in all kinds of movements including land rights and peasant movements.

The backbone of modern day movements still primarily consists of the poor and the lower castes. This isn"t to say that urban and middle class women haven"t contributed because without a doubt they have and they even appear as the most visible part. This in turn has raised inexplicable questions about the woman"s movement. One of the most significant developments for women has been that 33% of locally elected positions are reserved for women.
