All human beings are gifts of women in this world. Divinity has chosen them as a divine vehicle to carry on the evolutionary work. Women sacrifice a lot to nurture life. They endure tremendous pain right through their lives. Child birth is a rebirth for a woman. In India most of the women sacrifice everything the day they marry. Women are naturally patient, loving and caring. They spend more time in kitchen and taking care of household activities apart from doing the official work too as salary earner. Women are capable of doing everything that men can. They must be given equal rights in the society. They must be encouraged to come up in life and stand on their own feet. The book titled Womanhood in India deals with women's role from very early time (Sangam Age) till date, highlighting their problems and prospects. Their status at home, and the work spot where they meet challenges is humiliating.

Poverty and illiteracy block their health and progress.
