"At every stage of a woman's life -- foetal, childhood, adolescence, middle age and old age -- there is strife," she said.
Society and the individual are very closely related and neither can remain in isolation, she said at a national convention 'Towards Equality: Voices of Young Women' here yesterday.
The convention, which was organised by National Federation of Indian Women (NFIW), was attended among others by Annie Raja, General Secretary of NFIW, and Uma Chakravarthy, a feminist historian.
