DESCRIPTION
Half of the human population consists of women. Though accorded a prominent place verbally (may be in scriptures, poetry, legends and stories), almost in all societies women have been treated as weaker sex. They faces discrimination in all walks of life. Though women have made debut in various fields and proved their mettle at international level, they still meet atrocities and discrimination of one sort or other. With growing consciousness and knowledge, women study is now a fullfledged academic discipline. Amidst the piles of literature on women, this work is unique as any amount of creation of literature on the topic is not only significant but also an intensive revision what had been written already. This cycle of writing and rewriting keeps the subject alive. In the present work very succinct information is gathered under five titles encompassing all vital issues concerning the women. In the light of latest developments and research, this encyclopaedic work will prove informative and useful to one and all concerned. This work consists of volumes viz. Development of Women; Challenges and Response; Status of Women: Towards Empowerment; Working Women; Problems and Prospects; Women Welfare: Issues and Challenges; Reflections on Crime Against Women.
