Description
xIn ancient patriarchal societies, the birth of a girl was generally not welcomed. The daughter was considered the weaker sex and did not have an important role to play in family matters. During the Vedic period, as also in the ancient period, the birth of a female child was accepted although a male child was preferred.
Despite the efforts of educationists and social reformers, the role of Women in Hinduism has not improved dramatically. Over the years numerous social, constitutional, and legislative measures have been implemented to empower women economically and politically. This book studies the status of Hindu women from the Vedic Age to the present, analysing the steps taken to improve their condition.
