Status Of Women In Ancient India: (The Vedic Period)

S. N. Salawade

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The concept of Status of Women: The status of individuals and groups depends on their inborn advantages and disadvantages, abilities and disabilities and handicaps, which to a great extent affect their status and role in society. For example, women are vulnerable during menstrual periods and pregnancy. The status of women should be defined in terms of rights, powers, authorities and privileges, and protections and safeguards against the highhandedness of male domination and exploitation.
