Or the weepy mother forgiving and ever giving and taken for a ride for most of the time. Or maybe perhaps, a ramp model, ever ready to throw of her clothes at the drop of a hat, the moments she sees crispy green notes. Well, she is eulogized in our myths, and given a status of a goddess. Has she really been accorded, that level of respect in society, or even, lived up to those expectations. While everything seems so hunky-dory on the obvious, the tale is quite different, in reality.
Life is full of complexities.
And the woman too faces quite a lot of them. She reacts and assimilates humanly. While we cannot overlook the fact that they have been oppressed for centuries and denied basic rights still, we do have few very good examples from History where women have fought the social and political oppression and held their own. But such examples are very few and far in between. They were the privileged few.
