8. SUMMARY
● Mother’s day is a play by J. B. Priestley. It is a satirical and humorous
depiction of the status of the women, in particular, a housewife in a family.
Moreover, a housewife dedicates all her time in the service of her family but
her family takes her service for granted and never take notice of her needs.
The family never acknowledge her services or thank her for all that she does
for them. Everyone neglects her and this issue is prominent and relevant
today. Many houses out there sulk and suffer in silence. Also, the issue the
play raises is genuine the issue can’t be set by mere changes of the
personality of husbands, sons, and daughters. In order to give wives the
praise, they deserve the family needs to give them the desired attention.
9. NATURE OF THE LEAD ROLES
● Mrs. Pearson appears to be a timid and confused lady. She is in her forties. She
is a devoted housewife. She enjoys serving her husband and children. She is
ignored and made to work throughout the day. In spite of their ill treatment,
neglect and exploitation, she loves them all. In fact, for that she endures
everything without any murmur or protest. We feel sympathy for her. We wish her
to be a little more assertive.
● However, Mrs. Fitzgerald brings about a change in her personality. She helps her
to become more assertive and dominating at the end.Mrs Fitzgerald feels strongly
that the woman should be the mistress of her own house. She should be the boss
of her family . She should refuse to be led by nose. She is very intelligent also .
She knows how to cure people of their waywardness. She also helps Mrs Pearson
to control her husband and children...
10. INDIAN WOMEN
● The status of women in India has been subject to many changes over the span of recorded Indian
history. Their position in society deteriorated early in India's ancient period, especially in the Indo-
Aryan speaking regions, and their subordination continued to be reified well into India's early
modern period.
● During the British East India Company rule (1757–1857), and the British Raj (1858–1947), measures
aiming at amelioration were enacted, including Bengal Sati Regulation, 1829, Hindu Widows'
Remarriage Act, 1856, Female Infanticide Prevention Act, 1870, and Age of Consent Act, 1891.
Women's rights under the Constitution of India mainly include equality, dignity, and freedom from
discrimination; additionally, India has various statutes governing the rights of women.
● Several women have served in various senior official positions in the Indian government, including
that of the President of India, the Prime Minister of India, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. However,
many women in India continue to face significant difficulties. The rates of malnutrition are
exceptionally high among adolescent girls and pregnant and lactating women in India, with
repercussions for children's health.[e][10] Violence against women, especially sexual violence, is a
serious concern in India.[11]
