Women were forced to work on the family fields in place of their men as also able-bodied male members of the clan were forced to become wage earners on farms or in factories and mines instead of remaining farmers or cattle breeder. The subsistence-oriented barter as the major form of trade, was now changed into a market economy with money becoming the basis of trade. In due course of time, women too were made victims of the disruption of their system of social organisation when they too had to look for jobs.
