Nehru emphasized the need for women's economic independence and advocated for women working outside the home rather than viewing marriage as their primary role. He supported women's education and argued it should have a different emphasis than just preparing women for duties in the home. Nehru also criticized the idea that a woman's place was only in the home and that she should be obedient to her elders, instead arguing women should participate in the nationalist struggle and view themselves as potential soldiers in a national war.
