Resilient Women and Their Postcolonial World

Women are always considered second sex in the patriarchal society. They have not been treated as equal entity and are constantly victim of male gaze and disparity by the society. This kind of prejudiced treatment is not only prevalent in Indian society but also around the world. Many time their aspirations are not met with encouraging words and they end up struggling double for the same goal as compared to males of the society which they are part. Women have been supressed in the society from many centuries but this was not the case in the ancient time. Earlier, education was accessible to women but with the advent of Mughals and later the Britisher, changed the course of the society and left women at the pedestal. This research paper has dealt with the females of different societies and how their lives revolve around the males of the society and the discrimination meted to them.
