WOMEN BALANCING WORK AND MOTHERHOOD - DESULTORY REFORM?

Abstract

"Feminism isn't about making women strong. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength." —G.D. Anderson The remarkable idiosyncrasy of twentieth century is the emancipation of womanhood from the decrepit and the obsolete society. A human being’s life is a mosaic or can be called a complex maze of interactions between three significant domains - the self, the family, and the work. Before the time of Mughals, Indian women were given a high status in the society where they were given all freedom to live the way they want but in 1398 when Amir Timur conquered India women were dragged out of their home without there will and pushed to do something’s which they don’t want to do and there status becomes mere a puppet of men, but for today Indian women have awakened from their past slumber. They are not painted pictures only to be kept in the four walls of the house. Today they play equally in the progress of their country. It is been said that the best role they can play is a mother. Motherhood huddle upon a woman the responsibility of raising a child. As a dutiful mother, she can make her children happy , healthy and a responsible citizens. This process also changes the way in which she is perceived in commonality and if that mother is a working mother also at her workplace then, which constrain her to take more than feasible allowance dilemmas, and job security can be at risk. A working mother, notably one who has the favorable fortune to be able to balance her work and home, enjoys the piquancy that a job or career provides. She develops the ability of raising a useful member of society and at the same time gains financial autonomy. Balance is ideal, however, instances of chaos between the domains from time to time come about. Ineffective balance causes a person to loss interest, satisfaction and commitment at work or at home "Feminism isn't about making women strong. Women are already strong.
