Abstract

As the saying goes, “God created Adam and Eve as an equal but since ages women have been downtrodden and relegated to an inferior position in the social set up. This is true not only of developing countries like India, but of developed countries as well. The status of women throughout the world has been undergoing a lot of changes right from ancient time.

The dreams of women transcend all boundaries, though they vary from place to place. Women deserve esteem, respect and love, not as individual, but as symbols of reverence, creation and values, which are spiritual and aesthetic. Unfortunately, they have suffered the most in social upheavals, political conflicts and wars.
