Introduction : “You can tell the condition of a nation by looking atthe status of its women” - Jawaharlal Nehru Women have been depicted as a symbol of spirituality in our scriptures. Yet, they are denied rights and equality in many areas. They have been assigned a position subordinate to men.The spread of education and self-consciousness among women has led to their progress. Women of today are empowered. Also, women are advancing and gaining success in every field. True female equality is only achievable when people shift their restrictive attitudes and mindsets regarding women. Women today are eager to take up professions and work, thus, equal respect and dignity in the family. Women in free India also demand equal pay for equal work in comparison to men. Also, there are provisions for maternity leave for them. Furthermore, females are given equality of opportunity under Article 16 of the Constitution of India.
