At present the great task before us is the task ofnation building. This task cannot be achievedunless the women of our society share the workin an effective manner. The essential andindispensable contribution of the womenfolk canbe expected only when they received qualitativeeducation, employment & training and they gotenriched, enlightened and empowered. Thus,education is essential to empower the women.The ultimate solution to wipe out the crimesagainst women is to empower them througheducation. Women empowerment aims ateliminating discrimination and challenging genderinequality. A high standard of learning and culturewas reached by Indian women during the Vedicage. The idea of Indian civilization continued toflourish as India transcended its journey fromAncient to Medieval to Modern times.The book on “Empowerment of IndianWomen” contains 9 chapters relating to variousconceptual and qualitative issues on women’sstudies. This book is very informative, intellectuallystimulating and interesting. The need for such acomprehensive document was always felt in ourcountry but was never fulfilled. With this book,the author has fulfilled this long-felt need bybringing out different aspects and dimensions ofwomen’s studies, particularly in the Indiancontext. Hopefully, this document will serve as anessential text-cum- reference tool not only forprofessionals working in the field of educationbut to the policy planners and administrators aswell. It will also be a useful document for theparents, community members and the laypersons. This book will be a valuable addition inany library for B.Ed./M.Ed./Diploma in SpecialEducation/M.A. Psychology/M.A. Education/MSW/M.Sc. Child Development /MA Women’s Studies/MA Sociology/M Phil Women’s Studies /Diplomastudents in all Indian Universities.
