Women’s well-being depends on their empowerment–Social, cultural and political. During less than three decades, the transformation of women’s consciousness and of societal values in most societies have resulted in fundamental consequences encompassing political power to the structure of personality of women. This book addresses the issues in women’s empowerment by exploring the conditions, actions and accomplishments of women. The countries considered in the book share some basic similarities but the comparative analysis makes significant insights about the changing conditions of women and about the pattern of social change. Suitable to the needs students, teachers, women’s organisations and researchers, the book is equally of great importance to general readers.
