Causes of Illiteracy and Backwardness of Women in India

Firdaus Bano

Abstract

An important goal of human civilization in today's world is gender equality. The realization of importance of gender equality and attempts to achieve it is a major achievement. Lately the journey of women’s struggle for equality and emancipation has witnessed many milestones. Some of the remarkable ones include the right to property in 1870 (United Kingdom) to right to voting in 1920 (France). However, there is still much to be accomplished on social, economic, and legal fronts to achieve gender equality in all its unfeigned perspective.
