About the Book
With the evolving times, society has undergone tremendous changes in its perception of women. Awareness of their rights and attempts at women’s empowerment has been rampant around the country. Women make up half the country’s population and are valuable members of the economic, political, and social spheres. However, while women’s status has transformed, this does not entail the absence of obstacles and discrimination. Women continue to suffer under the clutches of patriarchy even now. The social structures in place are unfair and need to be overpowered for true equality. This book is an attempt to holistically explore the structures and dynamics that influence the women of today. Researchers across the country have come together to contribute their ideas regarding the position of women at work, their rights, awareness, and power struggle. This book takes into consideration a multidisciplinary approach toward women in the workspace. It not only focuses on the psychological but also unravels the cultural, political, social, and structural influences that affect women. It is hoped that this book will assist professionals, academicians, feminist psychologists, and sociologists worldwide in enhancing their knowledge about the topic.
