Notwithstanding some forms of oppression in the male-dominated society in the India, now women are becoming more articulate and creating their own spaces in various roles in society and economy.

They are also bringing out their innovative talents breaking the fortified institutions of patriarchy. These were among the observations made by scholars at a seminar on ‘Privileging Women Agency in History: Work, Worship, Leisure and Pleasure organised by the Department of History, Osmania University here recently.

Collaborative research by historians, sociologists, anthropologists and scholars will be very efficacious in understanding roles played by women, observed Prof Vijaya Ramaswamy, Centre for Historical Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in her keynote address. Intellectual constraints and external evidence would play a role in looking at women groups, she added.

K. Ramakrishna, Head, Department of History explained how women’s history is becoming more relevant to the society.
