we-the women

I am here to write about the common problems faced by the "common woman"
No doubt that we all need basic amenities (decent ones) to be able to lead a good life. But there is something more than that a woman would want from the society. Before I venture into that, lets just chalk out what the present woman's life style is all about.
She rushes in the morning to college/work, spends the whole day slogging over her assignments, travels back home in local buses (and reaches home stinking with others' sweat, not to mention other bonuses that come with the package of boarding a local bus).
This is just the goodie-stuff.
Now lets explore what lies beneath the surface......
While on her way to the college/work, she has to either wait for a bus or an auto...neither being an easy job. To get into a jampacked bus and come out intact is a struggle. Its a struggle to find a seat, another one and the tougher one is to safeguard oneself from protruding eyes, wandering hands and cynical smiles. Somehow or by sheer virtue of everyday practice she manages to reach her destination. In the college, she faces competition. There are challenges at every step. Devils in disguise are there too... She often has to work in an unfriendly environment, amidst lechers, cut-throst competition and of course boss's boot-lickers. safeguarding herself from all these and more...she tries HARD to rise up the ladder. step by step she moves up.
but is it all worth it? at the end of the day, she has to come home and face the music for getting late from work, for not being able to be a domestic goddess(just a euphemism for a housemaid).
her husband expects her to be the obedient servant that his mother has taught him to expect from his wife; the mum-in-law wants her to take all the responsibilities; to top it all they make it more and more difficult for her to work, whether at home or outside. and then they want her to look stunning and smiling 'coz she's a prized possession that the husband would want to flaunt at parties.....
if she has children, she's made to live with a guilt of not paying enough attention to them.
in such circumstances, anyone would crumble and give up her career. but she fights and fights hard(silently though) to save her identity....
again i ask, is it all worh it?
by the time she's a mother of a daughter, she's scared and apprehensive and pushes the daughter to the same life that she herself had lead so far.....
can anyone rise up and do something about this?
doesn't a woman need love,encouragement, appreciation for all that she does...?
i seriously need comments and discussions on this topic....
