1. The essay discusses the various roles played by women in society from birth until death as daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, and grandmothers. 2. It notes that while women play hugely important roles, they have historically faced discrimination and lack of equal treatment compared to men. 3. The essay argues that empowering women through education and equal rights benefits not only individual women but families and society as a whole. Greater efforts are still needed to achieve full gender equality and women's empowerment.

ESSAY ON ROLE OF WOMEN IN SOCIETY
Women play variety of significant roles in our society from their birth
till the end of life. Even after playing her all the roles and the entire job timely in
efficient manner in the modern society, she is weak because men are still strongest
gender of the society. Even after lots of awareness programmes, rules and regulations in
the society by the government, her life is more complicated than a man. She has to take
care of herself and family members as daughter, granddaughter, sister, daughter-in-law,
wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, etc. By following such a big responsibility
in the family, they are fully able to come out and do job for bright future of own, family
and country.
Women are considered as the goddess in the Indian society from the
ancient time however it is also true that they are not treated as goddess. They are being
ill-treated for many years and used just as things to fulfil the wishes of men.
Considering them as goddess is not enough to give them full women empowerment in
the society; however it needs positive continuous effort and participation of both men
and women to really bring women empowerment. Women play a great role in
everyone’s life without which we cannot imagine the success of life. They are the
highly responsible for the successful continuation of the life on this planet. Earlier they
were considered as only wives and mother who have to cook food, clean home and take
care of the whole family members alone. But, now the condition has been improved a
little bit, they have started taking part in the many activities other than family and kids.
The way of behaving, thinking and doing of women is completely different from the
men so we can say that women are physically, physiologically and psychologically not
equal to men. But women are more responsible than men in various means like child-
bearing and child-rearing. The tradition and culture of women lifestyle in India is
coming as usual for many years without any change however in terms of rights of
women, it is so bad and backward than other countries. The main question is why it is
so, is women are responsible for their backwardness or men or lots of women’s
responsibilities in home. Women are treated differently than men in terms of rights and
dues in many Indian societies even in the modern world. Men have dominating nature
over women in various perspectives. It is the matter of think that if women are given all
the same facilities like men and force them to be free from all the home responsibilities
and think like men then why not it is possible for women to be like men psychologically
in every areas of life. Earlier women were limited to home works only and not allowed
to go outside to perform social works like men. But things are getting changed now;
women are being aware of their rights and understanding well the dominating nature of
men over their whole life.

18. 18
If we compare the current status of women than the ancient time, we can say
that really the condition is improving gradually. Women are being professional, bread-
earners for their families and an independently thinking individual of the country even
after only being responsible for many responsibilities of the life. Traditional Indian
women have started proving themselves more skilled and competent in many
professions than men. And, day by day the situation is improving fast by breaking all
the barriers of the way.
The Indian government also has played great role in the women
empowerment by implementing various rules and regulations. The ancient time trends
such as female foeticide, dowry deaths, early child marriage, domestic abuse, child
labour, sexual harassment, etc have been banned by the government which has really
improved the women status in the society. A woman plays variety of great roles in
everyone’s life in various forms by being involved in various relationships. From her
birth till her end of life, she plays various roles as a daughter, sister, wife, mother and
other relationships. However, her main roles are as a wife and mother. The status of
women in urban societies is better however in various rural societies it is still worse
because of lack of proper education and education system. A woman give birth to a
baby and considered to be only responsible for her baby regarding care, education, job,
etc for whole life. She never demands anything in return of her roles instead she
performs her roles politely all through the life without any argue.
Women in modern Indian society are really forward if we compare
them from the ancient time but if we talk about the women empowerment, we can say
that not really women are empowered in all areas. Even after being so forward, women
need to go for long way defeating hard circumstances. Women have gained lots of
influence in various fields until balance between two genders. We can say that women
have more freedom than earlier however not true in many cases because prejudice still
remains in the society.
In many places, women are still treated as inferior sex and forced
to handle only house hold chores. Some women in the society love to follow the old
traditions of the family and perform traditional female role by being housewife and
mother. They live their whole life as general helpers to their husbands and kids. It has
been in the usual practise for a woman by birth to handle home and stay unemployed at
home. Some women from the society of high living status are keen to get employed like
men in the future because they have been lived in the society having higher level of
thoughts like that. They are never ill-treated in their family and always promoted to do
better in life like men. However women in the backward society, where people only
mean to earn food of two times daily, never understand their rights and responsibilities
like men. All the differences are just because of the lack of proper education and
education system in that area.

19. 19
Women need to realize their roles towards their society and country
together with their roles at home which is possible through the continuous effort, gender
equality and women empowerment. People are being more advance in their behaviour
and thoughts towards the women rights and empowerment.
Women play a great role in the growth and development of the society
and making it an advanced and modern society. There is a famous saying by the
Brigham Young that, “You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a
woman; you educate a generation.” Educating and giving power to the women is of
great importance which needs to be followed in the society to bring women
empowerment and development of society. Because it is true that, if a man is getting
educated and empowered, only he can be benefitted however if a woman is getting
educated and empowered, whole family and society can be benefitted.
Women are not things which can be neglected because of their less
power and authority instead they should be empowered and promoted to get higher
education. Women are the half population of the world mean half power of the world. If
women of any country are not empowered mean that country is lack of half power. By
nature, women play their all the roles with great responsibilities and have capability to
make a healthy family, solid society and powerful country. Lots of efforts have been
done however still women are backward and limited to home activities. We need to
understand that if an uneducated woman may handle home properly then why not a well
educated woman can lead the whole country like men.
Without woman nothing is possible for men, they are basic unit of
the society, they make a family, family make a home, home make a society and
ultimately societies make a country. So the contribution of a woman is everywhere from
taking birth and giving birth to a child to the care for whole life and other areas. All the
roles and responsibilities of the women can never be neglected by the societies. Without
education and women empowerment no development is possible in the family, society
and country. Women know well how to talk, how to behave, how to deal with people of
different classes, etc. She knows to handle all the situations because she knows well the
basic fundamentals of a good society and play her roles politely as a main contributor in
building a strong society.
