Abstract
Feminism includes ethical philosophies related to many social, cultural and political movements, gender inequalities and equal rights for women. In the Indian context, while the women's movement is an earlier phenomenon, the term feminism is a modern one. The major argument is that the feminist rethinking of the relationship of women in the state reflects the maturity of the Indian women's movement and its recognition that well-planned, mobilized and effective state policies are important to promote women's interests. Poverty issues were reduced to poverty there were concerns and no special programs aimed at creating women. In the period of dependence, the women's movement has concerned itself in large numbers issues like dowry, women's work, price rise, land rights, political participation of women, Dalits women's Rights on Women and Marginalization, Increasing Fundamentalism, Representation of Women media etc. and a large number of non-governmental organizations have raised this issue. While much more needs to be achieved and there are various obstacles in making this reality available to a large section of women, the women's movement has brought women's issues to the center and made them more visible.
