Abstract The arrival of Gandhi in the Indian political scenario ushered a new era of liberation and emancipation of women. He gave a new thrust to women's essentialist roles by aligning the feminine roles with the public life of the nation. Gandhi valorized these roles and made them visible in the public sphere. This is how Gandhi made women active agents in the process of formation of the nation. Gandhi's writings and speeches emphasize the existence of the 'feminine' as an important component in nation building. His ideas expressed in his writings and speeches developed women's confidence and generated a new thought process that later helped in the institutionalization of the women's movement. This paper attempts to analyze Gandhi's views on the emancipation of women through some of his writings in "Young India" and "Harijan".
