Explanation

During the 1920s, the Indian labour movement saw significant participation from women leaders who organized strikes and trade unions. Anasuya Behn was a pioneer who led the Ahmedabad textile strike and founded the Ahmedabad Textile Labour Association. Ushabai Dange was a prominent communist leader active in the Bombay textile strikes during this period. Prabhabati Devi (Prabhavati Devi Das Gupta) was a key organizer in the Bengal jute mill strikes and served as the president of the Bengal Chatkal Mazdur Union in the late 1920s. In contrast, Sarala Devi Chaudhurani was primarily a social reformer and nationalist who founded the Bharat Stree Mahamandal in 1910 [1]. Her work focused on women's education, the abolition of the purdah system, and socio-economic status rather than organizing industrial labour strikes in the 1920s [1].
