Abstract

Women face a number of issues in life. We live in a predominantly patriarchal society where women have to struggle a lot for things that men take for granted. Talking about a place like India, where some backward practices and mindsets still prevail, women have an even more difficult time. While both mental health and the place of women in society have been gaining more and more importance day by day, the conditions are still not ideal and there is a long way to go. There has been a lot of research on the specific issues that women face however there is a gap for comprehensive reviews that include most issues, especially from an Indian perspective. This article intends to fill that gap.
