" why women should perceive a career in civil engineering"

Preface: There was a time when women were confined to housecrafts and lacked voice not only
in society but also in everyday life. It was an era where males were seen as "bread winners"
while women likely to stay at home.Yet, they were an inseperable part of the society because
they took forward the house as a HOME. This skill of running the house was intrinsic in women
and was the only stepping stone that lead her to todays world.

Women have always been under everlasting work schedule which has empowdered them to
take up any task that comes ahead.As rightly said by Margaret Thatcher "if you want something
said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman."

The Awakening: The American Womens rebillion and the role of women in Indian freedom
struggle were the two significant events in the history that proved to the world that women
were capable of achieving anything and everything they desired for.
