A woman's 'self ' is the sacrifice to the family, polity, economy and society.Since we have not seen or acknowledged this cultural sacrifice clearly, women blame themselves. They become the only self-blaming and self-hating species. This too keeps women in their place.

 

There are some shifts. women are delaying getting married. When women are supposed to exist only in relationships, there is no single force more threatening than the single woman who delays marriage, is financially independent, lives on her own and has high earning power. If a single woman is a threat to society, a single mother successfully raising a child outside a marriage shatters completely the story of women not existing outside relationships with men.

 

A few women are forging new paths to an independent self and defining their own mix of duty and desire. She is part of the 71 million single women, altogether 21 per cent of India's 353 million adult women, that includes large numbers of widows, and abandoned and divorced women. This statistic was noticed first by marketers, who sell cars, life insurance and travel.
