“Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacity”- Mahatma Gandhi Women have always contributed to achieve the economic prosperity of Indian society. Women in rural India also, despite suffering from the problems like health, malnutrition, repeated childbearing and lack of education, engage themselves in direct and allied agricultural activities, handcraft products, embroidery etc; to boost the economy of their family and society. But it is the gender bias that still exists at every social stratum, even in the most educated and developed society, is unable to digest this visible contribution of women in all walks of life. In some regions, patriarchal societies diminish the role of women in important matters. Unfortunately this misogynist thinking is still deep rooted in our contemporary society and there are no apparent signs of improving this perspective to the unprejudiced and unbiased one.
