Synopsis Society is generally sensitised to the injustice perpetuated on the women over the centuries. The problems of women reared in a traditional set-up and ethos remain even when they take up employment. The face of the managerial superiority of the father, brothers, or the husband is so deep-rooted in the society that even though a young-woman becomes the bread winner or one more earning member of the family, she does not enjoy the economic independence that ought to be hers by right. This book intended to provide a detailed account of women’s problems, discusses the strategies for their empowerment and tries to awaken them to work for their rights, powers and progress. It is hoped that this book will be beneficial for scholars, activists and policy makers in the field of women’s rights and education.
