Summary
“I am a woman; I am admired because I do things well; I cook, sew, knit, talk, work and make love very well; so I’m a valuable living being”. – Billson.

In India most of the families are still leaving in joint family system with their parents and other in-laws This situation creates stress for working women because they have to look after all their husband’s family members and try to please them. They are living with the hope that the time for them will change. We have given up that hope that something can be changed so they have to compromise that situation. (Neetu, (2009))
