Abstract: Too many Women were and are a noble creation of God. She has been termed as the archetype of strength, love, courage, sacrifice and adaptability. But then women endure much more pain than men in the patriarchal society where men have some level of privilege to which women are not entitled. Such as Patriarchy constrains women in all facets of life .Thus when there was a time to empower herself she becomes fully aware of her positive self- esteem, rights and duties, her capabilities and potentialities in the families and society. In these socially constructed, defined gender roles, the main purpose of empowerment of women is to empower women as an Independent figure by unfolding all the norms projected against her.

Keywords : Women Empowerment, Education, Women Identity, patriarchal society.
