ABSTRACT

Our ideas about differences between the sexes have deep historical roots. For generations these ideas were accepted uncritically. Sexual identity is a central part of human personality. Women have come to recognize themselves as a minority group similar in many ways to other minority groups. Though things are beginning to change to some extent, but even minor changes have far-reaching implications. However, people are becoming aware that sexual inequality is as unjust as racial, ethnic, caste and class inequality.
