The Position of Women in Hindu Civilisation, from Prehistoric Times to the Present Day c11.s3.24

c11.s3.24

Then we have to note that family life still appeals to the average Hindu woman as the proper sphere of her activity. It is true that modern education may gradually change the traditional viewpoint in this respect, and educated wives may not like to confine their activities only to their hearths and homes. Wholesale desertion of the home by the wife in pursuit of a career is, however, not desirable from several points of view. The development of the practice of part-time employment would afford a good solution of the problem; it would not much interfere with the home life of the educated wife and would afford sufficient facilities to her to usefully employ her spare time and make her own contribution to the family budget.
