An Independent Woman

Hello All,

Here am I back with an articles for the lovely ladies out there...


I am going to give you three scenarios. I want you to give a moment thought on who among is an independent gal. (Since the importance is not on girls) I would take three gals as Girl A, Girl B, Girl C -
                      All of them got equal education of same standard. Girl A comes from modern family where her parents encouraged her to pursue her dreams, study what she wanted, take up a career of her choice and earn and make her living. Girl B is from traditional background. She completed her study for the sake of it, and her dreams were always to get married and have kids. Her parents got her married soon after graduation. Girl C is modern herself but hails from a traditional background. She did her graduation, but her parents got her married soon after not asking her consent about it.

A small survey of my  friends told me - majority consider an Independent Woman to be one
who is making her living and earning her own money. Independent woman is someone who is working and not family oriented. Hence applying it to the situation above, it would be Girl A who is independent according to many...  But I feel, both Girl A and Girl B both are independent in their own ways.


Girl A has been pursuing her career, making her living  and earning her worth. Yes, she is definitely an independent woman. Girl B was always interested in making the house. She completed her education and her parents gave what she always wanted. She is still independent to express her wish and get it done. Whereas, Girl C might have had aspirations for her life. She completed her education, and may be wanted to do something with her life and education, but was forced to get married. So she never had her independence.



I am pretty sure, you guys now got my definition for Independent Woman. Well, in simple terms my definition for independence - is FREEDOM to have a thought process and express one's opinion. It is freedom to have a feeling of yours and freedom to express your feelings. Plus a counter to freedom is EQUALITY. Freedom is #same for all men and woman. Everyone has right to freedom. So everyone has to have their dreams, should be allowed to take up their life in the way they want. It is not that man should pursue his dreams and a woman should have only dreams of family. In our society, we women don't even get a chance to start our careers before our family life.
A woman, however aspiring is she, however confident is she, is never allowed to harness her talents. Some may disagree to me here, but I am talking of the vast majority of the society. A woman might want to travel, might want to become aerospace engineer, might want to be in army and yet her dreams are cut short. She has been sacrificed for the betterment of a family - the same family which wouldn't run properly had she been not there. Hang on!!! I am not restricting the Independence of an Woman only for prior to her marriage. After marriage also she must have sufficient independence to express her view (or probably take a refreshing holiday of her choice! ;-) ). It is the duty/responsibility of every one around her to give that conducive environment for an woman to be her... Hence, its my entreaty to all the independent woman out there - Raise your head and walk with proud about yourself. Its also plea to the men outside to encourage the women you love, to live her life and be independent and let her be...


Women - I am calling out to you to - "Express your views, Live your dreams, and make it count to the life that you have". 



Please Take Care :-)
Keep Smiling :-)

With loads of Love,

Maddy.
