"Women empowerment and feminism has been a global phenomenon with a view to accord a dignified and assertive place for women in society. Despite this, attempts have never been made to understand womanhood in the real sense. There has been an utter failure in understanding of woman consciousness in the context of Indian mindset.

The present book has been published with a view to clear the hazy picture of the essence and the existence of woman in Indian ethos." (jacket)
