1930s-1940s: (Madan Sara and the Peasant Women Farmers — Many Women Selling Foodstuffs Making Enough to Supplement the Basic Needs of Families on a Weekly Basis, Within the Agricultural System the Majority of Women Not Being Madan Sara Who Brokered Resources Pricing and Access to the Larger National and International Markets — With International Price Fluctuations Madan Sara Often Deferring the Inflation in Products and the High Rates of Their Loans with Larger Factories and Traders to the Peasant Women Farmers Who Were Buying Their Goods): Many women selling foodstuffs made enough to supplement the basic needs of families on a weekly basis.
