The woman in the era of globalization is a super woman. She is no more a doormat or a docile woman as she used to be in the male chauvinistic society. She gets more exposure and more liberty as compared to the woman in the past. The status of the Indian Woman is rapidly changing in the post-independence times due to many factors like rapid industrialization and urbanization, and educational facilities to women.
