Here, I am talking about the power of women. W.O.MAN, This is an original old English word which actually describes for Wife Of MAN. Woman means wife of a man and this is true before two to three decades but from the last few years this definition has changed, we can’t describe the woman just as a wife of a man. It has added more value to it.
“ You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of women” this famous quote is given by Jawaharlal Nehru. This depicts the social and economic condition of any nation that is directly proportional to the condition of women of that nation. Since our ancient time, Women have been regarded as a symbol of spirituality in our old Vedas and scriptures. There is a very famous hymn in Sanskrit, “ 'यस्य पूज्यंते नार्यस्तु तत्र रमन्ते देवता: “. Meaning, where women are honoured, divinity blossoms there.
The Woman – Before and Now
The status of a woman in our society has undergone many changes over a span of time. In an earlier time, Women were ill-treated. They did not have their own wills and wish. In that male dominating society women were just an old rug of the house. They were never treated equally in any aspect to men.
With the passing of time and with immense efforts of some social reformers women's condition improved and today we are living in a society where women get all their rights. Women have explored in many fields and got remarkable achievements whether it’s sports, politics, research institute, financial services, or the corporate world. Nowadays, to find the woman as a company’s CEO or chief is not a new and surprising thing.
Woman – As Multitasker
Since ages, our society has been undervaluing the power of a woman. Women are producers, consumers and innovators. They are resourceful economic agents, proving every day and in every aspect with their unending power. It is always a challenge for the working woman to justify every responsibility of hers. Whenever it’s a matter of choosing between her responsibility towards family and her profession, she has to choose her family as a priority. Whether it’s a matter of her household chores, her child's education, taking care of her family or her professional issues, she will always be ready to solve those with her remarkable abilities.
There is a very old and famous saying that “ Behind every successful man there stands a woman”. A woman, not necessarily his wife, could be the mother, sister or perhaps any of his female friend. A woman has always been a backbone to her husband, to her children and to her family. A man's achievements are made possible by the support and work of their wife or female partner.
Successful men are usually ready to face challenges and handle them with positive energy, the source of which largely originates from their homes. The key player in every home is a woman with a strong character that can stand as a supportive hand and always speaks words of encouragement.
Significance of Woman
Nowadays woman can be a supportive hand to the family. They have gotten into various activities apart from just the family responsibilities, hence helping in the family finances. Many housewives are also not just the homemakers but they too are involving themselves in various online business and earning some handsome amount.
Women have changed their personalities by their exuberance in managing abilities. She herself worked hard to get the name and fame in society. We have many such examples as Mrs Sudha Murthy, Ms Kiran Majumdar, Ms Sunita Reddy and many more. They sacrifice a lot to attain their position in society.
Performing each and every responsibility as her priority, she mostly compromises on “ Herself “. Many times this leads to chronic health issues like anxiety, mental disorder and depression. According to the Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience study, the prevalence of major depression is higher in women than in men. in 2010 its global annual prevalence was 5.5% and 3.2%, respectively, representing a 1.7-fold greater incidence in women.
Every woman is always ready to uphold her family by either way like a daughter, a sister, a mother, a wife or a female friend. So she must deserve that return support and understanding for her growth. Marriage is not the end of her life. She has the right to fulfill all her dreams. "Every mother deserves a second chance to chase her dream. " very famous lines from the movie "Panga," tell us the fact and reality of a woman’s life.
Since the decade our society celebrates woman’s day to celebrate her achievements in different fields and to make her feel special and an equal in society. Apart from that, many organizations are also working for women empowerment which awakens the other side of society who still are under the influence of male power and tries to dominate the woman.
A woman has magical power. She can win everyone’s heart with her kindness. Every woman is an epitome of strength. Women accept criticism and compliments graciously. She empowers herself and carries her own sword. She can be soft as well as tough, can be pragmatic as well as spiritual. She demands nothing more than respect and equality because she deserves that.
