Expectations are higher. Women are now supposed to be able to "do it all". this means retaining their roles as domestic goddesses, while being super mothers, AND having well-paid jobs. \n\nTry adding up the time it takes each day to do all of these things, and you'll see it's impossible without help. No wonder I'm so bloody exhausted!

There are several clear indicators of the fact that Indian women continue to be discriminated against: the sex ratio is skewed against them; maternal mortality is the second-highest in the world; more than 40 per cent of women are illiterate; and crimes against women are on the rise. Yet, the women's movement which gathered strength after the 1970s, has led to progressive legislation and positive change, spurred on by the participation of women in local self-government.\n \n\n \nRoots of discrimination / Beginnings of change / Status of women in India / The women's movement / Legal status / Political participation / Minority rights / Current concerns\n\nIt is a paradox of modern India that women wield power and hold positions at the topmost levels, yet large sections of women are among the most underprivileged. Some women from the upper classes head political parties and command large followings, yet women's representation in the Parliament and state legislatures has not been more than 10 per cent.\n\nThe roots of discrimination against women lie in the religious and cultural practices of India. The beginning of changes started with the reform movements in the nineteenth century, which addressed practices like sati, child marriage, life of the widows, etc. The status of women in the contemporary context is reflected in the state of their health, education, employment and life in society.\n\nThe Indian women's movement started with addressing the problems that women faced, like violence, property rights, legal status, political participation, and the rights of minority women. Today, Indian women have won several victories against an oppressive way of life and are poised to raise pertinent questions that will make their lives more emancipating.\n\nWHERE DO THE ROOTS OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN LIE? \n\nThey can be traced back to ancient Hindu civilisation. Although some studies point to the equal status and rights that women enjoyed in the Vedic period (2500 B.C. to 1500 B.C.), patriarchy seems to have been the norm throughout history.\n\nIn the later Aryan period after 300 B.C., domination by the Brahmins (the priestly class), the growth of the caste system and other factors led to social decline. Child marriage became the norm, wives were expected to worship their husbands, barren women were thrown out of their homes and widows were not permitted to remarry. Many of these vicious customs are still observed in parts of the country. \n\nOther religions, like Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism or Islam, have questioned some of the practices in Hinduism, but, by and large, all religions have kept their women in varying stages of confinement and restrictions. The Bhakti cults tried to restore women's status and questioned some of the forms of oppression. \n\n\nTHE BEGINNING OF CHANGES\n\nOne of the fallouts of English education for the middle class during the colonial period was a change in attitude towards women. Through the Arya Samaj and the Brahmo Samaj, the Bengali middle class questioned the rigidity of brahminical Hinduism. Social reformers like Raja Rammohun Roy opposed sati or the practice of burning the widow on the husband's funeral pyre. The government abolished it in 1829. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's crusade for widows led to the Widow Remarriage Act of 1856. Several decades of agitation led to the Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929 that stipulated 14 as the minimum age of marriage for a girl. Education of girls through formal schooling was another major concern. The All India Women's Education Conference held in Pune in 1927 became a leading organisation in the movement for social change. \n\nWomen played a major role in the struggle for freedom from colonial rule. In 1917, the first women's delegation met the Secretary of State to demand women's political rights. The Indian National Congress supported the demand. In 1949 independent India gave them their due by enshrining in the

The US used prictures of women working on things like iron, chefs, nurses and such to try to get women to help out. Im not so sure about the Soviet Union though. Ask me about propaganda about the Cold WAr... i know more about that.

I think in our times the strengths and talents of women are more in demand. I think women are better at this moment in history.

Women are making just as much as the men are these days.  Sometime back that would have been true that men made more than women, but not anymore.

i'm gonna be blunt. the government could care less about society includin' women. the services you ask of are optiionally provoked if this was protested by woman and supported by me. almost everyone, includin' myself, is corrupt. so that's why your less likely to get what'chou want.

Basically just like everywhere else. There are a lot of working mothers but many men do not feel that women are equal in business.

I have capitalized the changes I feel are needed.\n\nIt is not a distinction achieved by \nmany (A deleted) women of genius. That is the true\ntest OF the changed position of women \nin India. What really is epochal or marks\na revolutionary CHANGE is their free\nand equal participation IN all spheres of\nnational activity, and AT every level,\nfrom work in villages to NATIONAL government. \nIt was never a part of the \nIndian tradition that women WERE INFERIOR by nature.\n\nFOLLOW-UP: (Now that you have explained exactly what you need I have rewritten as follows) (And I find nothing wrong with the very first line):\n\nIt is not a distinction achieved by \nmany a WOMEN-WOMAN of genius that is the true\ntest FROM-OF the changed position of women \nin India. What really is epochal OR-AND marks\na revolutionary CHANGES-CHANGE is their free\nand equal participation ON-IN all spheres of\nnational activity, and IN-ON every level,\nfrom work in villages to A GOVERNMENT-GOVERNING of\nTHE COUNTRIES- A COUNTRY. It was never a part of the \nIndian tradition that women WAS-WERE by nature inferior.

This is the 21st century.  Yes, of course women are taxed.  We hold jobs just like the men do.  Taxes dont go by gender but buy amount made in the year.

Depending on where you are there are a lot of not for profit organizations that help women in the workforce.  "Women at Work" Their website is:   http://www.womenatwork1.org/  See if your local college has a career center or information about one.  They should cost little to no money.  good luck

To a certain extent they are.  Men and women can apply for the same jobs, whether as a secretary or a CEO.\nBut the lines are still firmly drawn in other areas.  A girl is still "easy" if she sleeps with someone, and a boy is just being a boy.\nIf you watch 3-5 year old children you will still see boys playing with action figures and trucks while girls still play with dolls.\nThe opportunities for women are expanding every day, but, there are still many drawbacks.\nA working mother still doesn't love her children enough, but a man is supporting his family.\nThe gender bias is still there, but fading.\nMore and more men are deciding to be stay at home dads.  Some are still ridiculed, but it is easing.\nMost of the problem would go away if people could just go for what they do best without being looked at askance.  \nIf you look at the long run, you will see we've come a long way from the 50's and 60's.  We have come out of the dark ages, but we still need to move into the Renaisance.

hey.  I have to read that book over the summer.  so far it seems like the womens role is to reproduce and take care of the cooking and cleaning.

yes it was created for man to do men things. Women fit in to help men understand building, cooking, rearing , organizing, war, and love.\n\nNo society can prevail without women\n\nLook at a strong man, behind every strong man you will find a strong woman

The basic unit of any society is a husband and wife.  \n\nThey contribute children, which continues our culture into the next generation.  Any society that isn't predicated on the principle of 'women and children first' is doomed to extinction.
