"This book express all the important issues of women\'s education. Women education is of paramount importance as to educate a women mean to educate a family, or society as a hole. The idea that women would be kept away from most occupations no longer finds favour. It might be that certain occupations are not suited for women, but that is a different matter. So it is highly necessary that we should develop our education, among our girls specially because men are provided for, to some extent.

Despite all tall claims, and effort by government, a major segment of women population is illiterate. Illiteracy is the mother of all other evils, responsible for women\'s plight and exploitation. The present book intends to highlight some crucial issues concerned with education of women." (jacket)
