Even though women have caused change through their hard work, there is much more that must be done. Women continue to be oppressed by males whom feel superior to women. Men who have not changed their archaic views of women continue to suppress the rights of women. Women will continue to hold more power for progression of time has shown that it is inevitable. The change that women have done is immense. Not only did they single handedly change the social norms of society they molded the path for future generations of women. To have a voice in their mother country to be treated as human beings with dignity and…

Women have come a long way from the time of men dominance in the political arena. In ancient Greeks, women were not allowed to participate in any part of the public life, but they were allowed to participate in most religious cult. In classical Athens a woman’s place was in the home according to the book. In Spartan households, women care for the families because their husbands were gone so much, yet they still could not make any major decisions even when their husbands were away. In politics today women are heads of state, and they are also involved in the process of law making.…
The configuration of a woman 's identity consists of the expectations that society places on her. Such expectations are still in existence today. Authors from the nineteenth and twentieth century are using literature and poetry as a vehicle for the new role and passion of the woman.…
All the time women had been underestimated in societies. Their jobs were only to be a house wife. Also they were not allowed to be educated. In other words, they were convinced that this is men’s world. But in the last three decades, women have proven themselves that they have limited abilities in every field. Their achievements in business, politics and communities made people change their minds towards women. For this reason, we need more women in power to work and become leaders because they have equal skills just like men, as well as, working will bring up the strong capabilities of women.…
Today there are lot of things that is happening in the name of women empowerment in India and lot of resources are spent in this direction. Keeping this in mind it is crucial to have a reality check on what is happening on paper and what is the actual ground situation. It is worthwhile to ponder on the fact that we…
Blatant acts of sexism are being called out more and more, women being portrayed in the media are slowly being seen as equal to men, and most importantly, women are getting the power that has been withheld from them for so long. Google recently released a statement saying the emojis that they could alter were going to be altered for the better. Women would be the added faces to positions and jobs such as farmers, doctors, graduates, teachers, and many more (Bleuel). When it comes to women and being given political power, the chances are increasing. In the past 20 years, the average number of women in parliament has doubled (Khan). This progress is exponential, and will only benefit us humans within…
"You can tell the condition of a Nation by looking at the status of its Women." Jawaharlal Nehru, Leader…
The status of women in any civilizations shows the stage of evolution at which, the civilization has arrived. The term “status” includes not only personal and proprietary rights but also duties, liabilities and disabilities. In the case of an Indian woman, it means her personal rights, proprietary rights, her duties, liabilities and disabilities, the society and her family members. A woman can say more in a sigh than a man can say in a sermon.…

In spite of so many restrictions many women have come up and have made them shine among so many people. Indira Nui (CEO to PEPSICO) is voted as the most influential and powerful woman for the second year is from India where discrimination against women is at its peak.

This all shows how much talent and intelligence women have. This talent and intelligence has to be nurtured to improve the status of women in the…
The first sentence of the book is that – “The status of women in society is a measuring rod and a true index of its civilisation and cultural attainment” which is very true. History has been proof that women and their issues are always side tracked or often not taken seriously. The women have always been neglected when planning about the society’s development, and thinking of the nation’s interest. Like for example: - during national movement women rights/empowerment was not the priority. It was about India being a Nation. It was said that let India become a Nation first, then we can talk about empowering women. But even today after all these years we see that still society is talking about women inequality. And very less is being done for the women by the nation policy makers.…
I want to speak about the role of women in society. I know that in general when a man speaks about the role of women, then it is a very delicate issue because many opinions about this question are very subjective, emotional and sometimes full of prejudices. But nevertheless I hope that even the feminine listeners of this speech will not close their ears, because a man tells his opinion about the role of women in society.…
