The book covers not only the historical background and significant related to women's marriage, divorce and conditions at home and work place, but also discuss in detail about the various protective covers for women's empowerment, modernity and self-sufficiency. The publication would be of immense value to scholars and researchers of Sociology, social Work, social and Cultural Anthropology, in addition to Planners and Policy-Makers. It is a modest effort with an aim of stirring the calm waters, making the society aware of women's problems and their pitiable state.
