While in mitzrayim, the men were so downtrodden, overworked, and in despair, that they would have just given up if the women had not taken the initiative. Once they left mitzrayim and had received the Torah, the people were happy to serve Hashem and raise their families without the external stimulus of the mirrors. The women wanted to donate the mirrors to the Mishkan in thanks for what Hashem had done and to acknowledge what the mirrors had done for the people. | |
