In Vedic text the women folk are portrayed as equal, free, respected, and learned. They were equal in the society. Eventually this got diluted. To revive it they struggled incessantly. Even when they had to leave home, and stay alone, they never gave up their work or hope. They have suffered more insults, accusations, hunger and injustice than men for doing same kind of social reforms. The challenge for them was double fold. They showed the way of emancipation of not only the self but also of the society. संत मीराबाई के भजन ने पूरे राष्ट्र को श्रीकृष्ण भक्ति से आप्लावित कर दिया। यहाँ की माताएँ अपने पुत्रों को शिवजी और महाराणा प्रताप के जैसा सच्चरित्र एवं वीर बनना सिखाती हैं। To name a few instantly recognizable names from recent times, Swami Vivekananda mentions a great debt to his mother Bhuvaneswari Devi. Shri Maa was a source of inspiration to Maharishi Aurobindo.
Bharat has an extremely rich heritage of rishimatas: गार्गी, अपाला, उषा, अदिति, इला, सरस्वती, इन्द्राणी, लोपामुद्रा, सूर्या, सावित्री, शक्ति, उमा, हेमवती, ममता, वाकया और कई अन्य।
The women of today too are the living embodiment of virtues, sacrifice and love just like the women of ancient times and we must look towards them as such.
