Indeed, the progress of women is not possible unless they are given proper education. History bears ample proof that women’s education was given due importance in ancient India, during the Vedic period, women enjoyed the same rights and privileges as did men. In some respect, they were given some special honour also. Gargi and Maitreyi were regarded as the leading philosophers of the time.

But with the passage of time women lost their rights and privileges. The custodians of morals advocated to keep them at home because they believed that a woman’s place was at home. The male-dominated society made them a thing of commodity
