Lack of Education
The backwardness of
the majority of the women is due to lack of education as well as to
their economic dependence upon men. No doubt, the rich families educate
their daughters highly. Many educated girls get employment as school
mistresses, typists, stenographers, receptionists, secretaries, blocking
and reservation clerks, business executives. Many become nurses,
doctors, professors. They are economically independent and therefore
socially independent too. But the number of such women is only a small
fraction of the total number of Pakistani women.
