The women occupy the very prominent place in the history and continue to play very vital role in all walks of life. To be able to reach the position that they are in today there is progressive deliberation initiated at across various stages over all the matters and concerns of women. The paradigm shift in the socio-economic position is appreciable but still there is a long way to go in this regard. The present study is an exploratory study taking the women movement across issues globally and at national level. The universal issues concerning women are accounted and considered from time to time. There is a timeline of women movement duly taken care of in the present study.
