Status of Women in India in the Rigvedic Age and Medieval Age

Abstract

The condition and status of women in Indian society changed substantially from the early period to the beginning of the present century. The status of women is a relative and multidimensional concept. Indian women at turn of the 21^st century would argue that they still have a long way to go to attain high status and gender justice. So in this paper, there will be analysis for knowing the ideal, and in fact the original view point of Indian thinkers about the status of women in ancient society and in the medieval society.
