Abstract:-Women empowerment begins with the awareness about their rights and capabilities. It allows women to play an active role in home , society and nation. Women empowerment during the British period proved as a milestone in the path of women empowerment in India, because before this period many evil customs were imposed on Indian women like, sati pratha, devdassi system, child marriage, ban on widow remarriage etc. At that time gender discrimination was also very serious, and women had no identity. During the British period Indian reformers and government took initiatives to improve the status of Indian women. So it is a significant period for study of Indian women’s empowerment.
