Abstract

Introduction As far as women are concerned, they have been deprived of their rights, but reminded of their duties till recently. However, as time is fleeting, with the fleeting time women role has been undergoing drastic changes. It has been changed from child bearing and rearing to Bread- winner. Thus, the new socio-economic milieu is making it inevitable for them to come across vis-à-vis the emerging facts in the contemporary Indian society. Woman is a fascinating subject for study. In spite of comprising 50 percent populations on the globe, women have not been given equal status with men. A major part of this sentiment can be attributed to gender role socialization that operates in the society. This differential socialization raises boys and girls for different roles. However, if the total involvement is taken into account, Woman plays multiplicity of roles that far exceeds those of her counterparts.
