Career women,

In her article on higher education Vimala Ramachandran claims that large number of women get married and do not engage in any work.
Presuming that she runs a house too, she must be aware of the amount of work that is involved in having a smoothly run household, the time-management and multitasking.
If we are talking about giving clothes to the laundry, getting a maid to clean up they are forms of outsourcing which many women do not do. Particularly if they home bound. There are people who still subscribe to “penny saved is penny earned” nothing wrong with it.
Probably what she means is that these women do not wear a “power suit” and go out to work. But there are so called working women who outsource their household responsibilities, come to the office to do mundane tasks , take their coffee and lunch break, buy stuff from the salesmen visiting their work place do they really contribute enough to the home economy or are they paying a hidden price?
Isn’t true empowerment a freedom of choice?
