Synopsis: The book examines various aspects of women empowerment in South Asia, particularly in India. The term “empowerment” refers to women’s liberation from social-economic restraints of reliance. Women worldwide actively work as leaders and establish new dimensions in all fields. Yet, in India, although women comprise around 50% of India’s population, most stay economically dependent, and in most Indian villages and towns, women are still denied fundamental education. After more than 75 years of independence as a country, we need to take a long-overdue in-depth look at empowering women in India and how women empowerment should be a powerful tool for national development. This book aims to discuss the empowerment of women through examining the social and personal challenges faced by women, as well as evaluating areas such as gender discrimination, education opportunity, and employment opportunity.
