Symbolic role models and identity patterns of Indian women

Abstract

Woman is a phenomenon yet to be explored, experienced, and understood in all her viccisitudes, multiplicities, contradictions, and complexities. As she begins her journey in life at the dawn of birth and proceeds through different stages, she experiences hereself and in turn is experienced by others in many forms and feelings. and yet she remains an enigma. Most of her life is shrouded in unfathomable dusk or twilight.
