- Leadership and Organization: For example, Ella Baker was a prominent leader in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and a founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Her emphasis on grassroots organizing and participatory democracy influenced the movement’s direction and strategies.
- Activism and Direct Action: Women were on the front lines of protests, sit-ins, freedom rides, and marches. Rosa Parks is perhaps the most well-known female figure for her role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which became a catalyst for the broader civil rights movement.
- Legal and Political Advocacy: Women such as Constance Baker Motley played vital roles in the legal battles for civil rights.
- Education and Training Activists. Septima Clark, known as the “Mother of the Movement,” developed citizenship schools that taught African Americans literacy and other skills necessary for voting and civic participation.
- Community Support and Mobilization: Many women worked behind the scenes to support the movement, organizing fundraising events, providing food and shelter for activists, and ensuring logistical support for various campaigns.
- Media and Communication: Women like Ruby Doris Smith-Robinson and Joanne Grant used their writing and communication skills to spread the message of the movement.

Ignorance is bliss, as they say. People spreading hate are going through issue of their own, have socio-emotional problems for which they find outlet in writing spiteful words against strangers. Many of them are not even courageous enough to have their own photograph in the DP, because they do fear the consequences. Yet find sadistic pleasure in hurting others with unnecessary comments, rude and untruthful words. Replying them is just a waste of time. They need therapy and counselling instead.

The main reason is that it has been continuing for so long that it’s become a part of our ‘culture’. This is the reason, women trying to move out of this discriminatory prison are often labelled “uncultured’. Many of them are simply doing what is considered normal for men, (and therefore for them too) something as simple as going out late in the evening or night. Gender roles, duties and rights have been so strongly demarcated and assigned to each gender specifically for centuries that any change in that, is frowned upon. Most of the women themselves accept how society treats them and fear teaching their children to challenge the discrimination even within their own families, for the smallest of issues. Centuries of discrimination and its acceptance and propagation as part of a nation’s culture cannot be expected to vanish anytime soon.
