I am` and `I can`, but I wish that you also wish that you want to walk with me on the soft and hard terrain of life and recognize that `I am `and `I can`.
Female, half of the world`s population, is a neglected lot. It is the nations` misfortune that they are deprived of the benefits of the talents of half of their populations. In India, more than in most other places, women are perceived as `second sex`, dependent on men. It is a tragedy that not only men, but most of the women themselves hold the same view, not necessarily because they are indeed dependent on men but because they are taught to think so. How is the change in the mindsets that is required to be brought about?
Even after decades of efforts at the national and international levels to make women join the mainstream of development, the situation has not improved to the desired extent. Why? What additional interventions are required and what corrections are needed in the on-going strategies? The book examines some of these issues. It also provides in detail the results of a study conducted on women establishing that when given an opportunity, women can excel assuming leadership and managerial functions. It peeps into depths of the problem and calls for a change in the social orientations process of men and women.
The book argues that women should come forward to help themselves instead of waiting Micawber-like for someone to turn up to do that for which facilitation in their personality development is a pre-requisite. ISBN 9788175411715
