ABSTRACT:
A woman is a dawn of light where all the darkness disappears. She is the sun that enlightens everyone and beholds the ability to vanish all the fear that grows in darkness of mind. Women are essentially the origin of life. No one can cast a doubt on the substantiality of women that they are the ultimate creators of this very existence. The woman strengthens the foundation of family as a mother, daughter, sister, and wife embracing everyone with the unconditional love. If allowed to grow their potential they not only enhance a women’s world as writers, entrepreneurs, mystics, painters, counselors, scientists but can also provide a better vision to the men’s world. The following paper highlights the transformation of women from the Vedic ages to the Contemporary Era.
