I do not stand for women’s liberation as a solution to all the ills affecting women but, definitely, women should be accorded a fully human status and their feelings, thoughts, and attitudes should be reciprocated with human sympathy and dignity. Women empowerment is not all about ambitious women with vanity attached to them but women born and brought up with the right mental frame and attitude to carry on their life with prestige and a good. Nowhere would | have reached and achieved even the slightest success without such good people in my life as family members. Whatever little | have achieved today is their making.
