Women everywhere have suffered for ages from the disabilities and violations perpetrated by men. The author has collected Swami Vivekananda’s views on the true place of women in our society in a way that a clear picture of the free and independent woman emerges. This is an enlarged version of the article ‘Vivekananda and the Ideal Woman of the Future’ originally brought out in our book, ‘Vivekananda as the Turning Point’.
