The role of women in today's world has changed significantly

Women are the epitome of strength, love, sacrifice and courage. The role of women in today’s world has changed significantly and for better. Women are now self-sufficient, well aware and financially independent. They have attained immense success in every field, whether it is sports, politics or academics. With the encouragement of co-education, women are now marching side by side with men, in every walk of life.
A working woman in India has a very different and more challenging schedule as our society has clearly defined work for women and men. New economic equations are challenging the old definition and distribution of work and somehow the redistribution of work today is not done with a fresh idea of justice.
The 21st century has brought a new hope and has empowered women in a positive manner. Earlier they were under the shadow of a husband or a father, but now they have established their own identity and are independent.
Education is an important key to success. Empowering women would become more pertinent if women were well informed and educated. A woman needs to understand her rights so that she can walk at par with men. Mother Teresa, Indra Nooyi, Pratibha Patil, Kalpana Chawla and a lot more have been very significant in their own sphere and are idols for every woman in India and across the globe.
Cooking, cleaning, taking care of children, are still some of the works which are considered as "woman's work" in India. It is the toughest test of her patience, ability, energy and her managerial skills at home as well as on the job. On the job or off the job, both the places are like a battlefield for her but still , she is unstoppable.... no complaints , no demand, no questions.
Today they have been able to create a positive impression in the society. From housewives to CEOs, the transition can be seen at an accelerating rate. Modernization and the advent of the latest technology have widened hope and opportunities for them.
They have established themselves socially, politically and economically in almost every field. Women are no longer considered unfit or weak for military or for other defence forces. Recently, Avani Chaturvedi has set a perfect example and created a milestone by becoming India’s first female fighter pilot.
The journey of liberation of women has crossed many milestones and the society has indeed come a long way. They have struggled hard over the last few decades but still been able to successfully establish their own identity.
Today’s women are adorned with patience and perseverance, which has helped them to attain the pinnacle of success. Earlier, women were seen only as housewives who were projected to cook, clean and take care of their family. Today- along with handling tough clients at office, they successfully multitask at home too. Women are more focused and have a unique decision making power even at senior leadership level, in the most optimal manner, and at times are in a better position than men. Empowering women can help the society to grow and develop at a faster pace. We are definitely redesigning the world.
