Dr. Patcha Bhujanga Rao, Dr. M. Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy

Abstract: All over the world, the number of working women is increasing due to many social changes, including the increasing education of women and the impact of globalization. Women make up 46 percent of the workforce in the United States and currently only make up 23 percent of female leaders. In one study, women said their biggest concern at companies was people, while men said getting the job done was their biggest concern. Despite better education in the past, women's potential is still limited by gender discrimination, hard work, local laws and family obligations. In this article, the special role of women in different fields, the problems they face in their development and their abilities compared to men are discussed.
