A woman is an essential component of the universe. She has marched shoulder to shoulder with the male of the species and shared her endeavor in every field of life. Women play a vital role in every sector without which we cannot think of socio-economic development of the country. The constitution of India guarantees equality of status to women in Indian society and provides protection for their human rights. Even though there are laws and acts ensuring their protection they face so many discriminations. She is exploited both at home and outside. Due to such circumstances, women fail to create an identity for themselves, socially or politically. This paper addresses the reflections on the status of women yesterday and today and is a reflection of their position in our society.
