Letters Independence of women
When I think about all the problems that women have to go through at the workplace, I sometimes begin to wonder whether we as women actually fuel the existing misperception of our abilities to perform in the corporate world. We live in a country where the idea of women working is still a big no-no in many communities. However, things have changed drastically since the 1930s, when women were asked to stop education and get married at a young age. What women have to start understanding is that we can do more today not because people have allowed us to get this far, but because we have the confidence to say, "We can do it, and we will do it." Women should pursue what they want to and not what society wants them to. Of course, this is going to be difficult because of the mindset people have had for generations. Swati Kapoor, Pune
