Women Achievement and Power towards Entrepreneurship

Abstract

In earlier days women were confined to the four walls of houses and led a protected life. In the present modern society they have come out of the walls and take part in all sorts of activities competing successfully equal to men. This has become possible because of the safeguards, industrialization and urbanization. It has been proved globally that women have been performing exceedingly well in various fields such as education, administration, politics, sports, medicine, aeronautics, trade and industries, social work, transports, science and technology etc. The very fact that the world’s largest democracy [India] was headed by a woman Smt. Indira Gandhi is a big complement to the capacity, caliber and character of women. Thus Women Entrepreneurs are helpful to the society in various departments to economic and social development of our country. The social –economic advancement of a country can best be judged by the status and position, which it can bestow on its women. Despite barriers and obstacles, some women do make it to the top. They exhibit the technical domain in which qualities needed for excellence are generally considered feminine viz., warmth, patience, hard work, sincerity, understanding and sensitivity. They enter the arena where expectations about leadership and management are more compatible with the male stereotype and masculine traits such as forcefulness, decisiveness, risk-taking, problem analysis, negotiating and bargaining. In recent years women in larger numbers are entering the managerial world. it was the last bastion of male dominance.
