Women constitute almost the half of the total world population who play a vital part in shaping society and economy. Women at large and rural women in particular work at a variety of tasks. They have little time for leisure but what is shameful is that they have little or no control over the productive resources. What is more, they have little control over their own income or labour. The core of this book is empowering women through education and employment in a grass-root economy. For our purpose, we have given a description of various development schemes for the development of women during planning. An analysis on women and education has also been made. In order to understand the conditions of women in a backward rural economy we have presented here two case studies. An exposition of the condition of women has also been given.
