Abstract: Women and men though created equal in all respects have not enjoyed equal status in society. Women have had to struggle to attain higher education and career opportunities all over the world and more so in India. This paper begins by tracing some traditional and mythological brainwashing messages before examining three approaches—education, empowerment and legislation—that have helped women progress over the last 50 years. Yet, there are more empowered women in the urban culture while change is gradual in the rural culture. When men support women, both can actualise themselves.
