New Delhi: In today’s India, there is hardly any field to find which has not been explored by a woman yet.
We remember a India where women used to spend all their lives within the boundaries of their houses or in the kitchen only. Women over the years, faced oppression and did not get enough recognition.
But as the time has changed, women are getting recognition in every field; be it Army or even in their own houses. They are now being called as ‘Homemakers’ instead of ‘Housewives’.
Here is a list of such influential women who were the first in their respective fields.
