This movement emerged during the 19th century and raised the question of equal status of women. Social reformers showed the concern regarding problems of sati, prohibition on re-marriage, denial of right to property, child marriage and education to women. The reformers were of the view that by giving women access to education and by introducing progressive legislation social reforms in respect of women can be achieved. Swami Vivekanand, Dayanand Saraswati and Annie Besant were of the opinion that the old Vedic period should be revived which was ideal for women's status.
