The Role of Women in Modern World

In past, there were times when women were just house keepers. They were confined to the four walls of the kitchen and occupied in rearing children. Men became the bread earners. The roles of men and women were, thus, seperated. But, with the passage of time, the scenario has changed. Now women of all over the world are being educated in every field that men, so far, dominated. Kwoledge of arts, science, technology, and politics is no longer the privilege of man alone. Now most of the schools, colleges, and institutions are conscious of availing education to boys as well as girls because the importance of following words have been immensely realized:

"You educate a man; you educate one person, you educate a woman; you educate the whole family."

Today's woman is playing vital role in modern world. On the one hand, she is educated and bringing up her children in a well manner, through which she is playing a great role in making her child a civilized citizen. On the other hand, she proved herself as an energetic leader, a puissant social reformer, and an efficient worker. Her physical weakness is no longer a barrier in getting herself established in modern world. She has proved herself a great leader in modern world. As Nancy Pelosi quoted, "Women are leaders everywhere. You can see from the CEO who runs the fortune of the company to the household, our country is built by strong women."

Hence, the importance of role of women in our society can never be denied. If we open the golden pages of history, we have many great women, who played their prominent role to shape the world into a better place. One of them is Charie Blair; the founder of foundation for women. By helping the needy and helpless women, she is plaing a significant role to improve the poverty level. Not only this, but the names of Mother Teresa, Kalpana Chawla, Sharmeen Ubaid Chennai, and Benazir Bhutto are also included in the names of women who struggled to bring about change from local to global level. 

If we see today's situation of western countries like, China, America, and France, they are developing by leaps and bounds. Why? Because their women are allowed and given opportunities to grow in order to contribute to the welfare of the country. It is a fact that is also said by Charles Malik, "The fastest way to change the society is to mobilize the women of the world".

So, we can conclude that women play a significant role in the modern world from very basic to complex level. The role of women is vital to touch the heights of success, to civilize the society, to bring about the change and to make this world a better place to live.
