Abstract

In the ancient times, women were not allowed to even get education. Their role was purely to look after home. Their world was limited to their families. But then, the people slowly started recognizing the importance of education for women. And today, we find many highly educated women. They are progressing in real sense because in almost all sectors we find women working successfully. And of course, while doing so, they haven't forgotten their job of homemaker. On both the fronts i. e. home & job, they are doing just fine. They know how to manage work life balance. Now-a-days, we find more and more women who are financially independent. Men and women are born equal and both play an important role in the creation and development of family in particular and society in general. In the traditional family husband earns for the family and wife maintains it. Her role was mainly confined to domestic works. She creates life, nurtures, and guards and strengthens it. She plays the role of wife, mother, sister, sister-in-law, daughter, daughter-in-law, granddaughter etc. She is the transmitter of tradition and the instrument by which the family culture is preserved.
