        abstract = {This paper examines the multifaceted role of women in Manipur, highlighting their historical contributions and involvement in socio-economic movements. Throughout history, Manipuri women have played pivotal roles in various spheres, from traditional governance and agriculture to contemporary activism and socio-political advocacy. The study explores key historical events, such as the women's resistance during the anti-colonial struggles and the impact of socio-economic policies on women's empowerment in modern Manipur. Additionally, it analyzes the emergence of women's organizations and movements that have championed rights, gender equality, and social justice, reflecting the resilience and agency of women in a predominantly patriarchal society. By situating these movements within the broader context of regional identity and cultural heritage, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how women in Manipur have navigated challenges and contributed to the socio-economic landscape, ultimately shaping their communities and asserting their identities in a changing political environment.},
