Stress and Personality for Working and Non-Working Women

Women's empowerment means assigning women authority for their progress and development. Our Concern about women's empowerment in the present era is indicative of a tacit admission of the fact that men had forced women to remain powerless till now. However, men have realized their error and are ready to allow women to be progressive and enterprising. Women are at par with men in activities, capacities, intelligence, thinking and reasoning. The arrogance of men had resulted in denying these faculties to women and they were not given due opportunities to prosper. It was believed that women should confine themselves to child bearing and cooking, or looking after the family. Their life was equated with home. This caused a great setback to the Indian civilization. Stress has been defined as 'The pattern of specific and non-specific response and organism makes to stimulus events that disturb its equilibrium and tax or exceed its ability to cope.'
