Women leaders play an increasing and significant role in today’s economy. Their income and spending capacity are critical to the country's economic well-being. Most of the corporate companies hire men for the top positions. The fundamental structure of patriarchal society depends upon the understanding that male are superior, more powerful, and that they represent the “norm,” whereas women are considered as inferior; they lack in power and autonomy. The power of socialization that underlies this system cannot be ignored. In fact, gender related patriarchal values are so deeply ingrained in society's consciousness that they are largely invisible. Thus, women are more likely than men to encounter negative expectations and reactions, making it more difficult for them to reach positions of respect, influence, and leadership. In this study the barriers faced by women leaders in job related stress, gender related barrier and work life balance and how these type of psychological barriers affects women leaders in their workplace.

DIASPORAN SOULS IN THE NAMESAKE BY JHUMPA LAHIRI
(Language in India, 2017-03-03) Geethanjali N; Sheela J
The term ‘diaspora’ is derived from the Greek word meaning to “scatter about.” Diaspora refers to the movement of the people from one country to another and the diasporans refer to the people undergoing the movement. The diasporans migrate to different countries across the globe in search of greener pastures. Wherever they go, they take with them a profound sense of home land (native land) with them. Either they have gone there for economic settlement or permanent settlement, they have their roots in their native land. They are highly patriotic towards their mother land. These diasporans are called as first generation immigrants. They have split souls and they try to etch a space for themselves. But on the other hand their children, called as second generation immigrants could not confront with reality and they refuse to accept their parents as their saviors in their diasporic sickness. Jhumpalahiri, a second generation immigrant acts as a true representative of displaced voices and dislocated identities. This paper focuses on the diasporan souls in Jhumpalahiri’s The Name Sake

E desp ARLY and universal marriage is the characteristic of nuptiality pattern in India. Despite the Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929 and its amendment in 1978, pre-puberty and child marriages still continue to take place in India, particularly in Rajasthan state (Goyal, 1988).

However, even by 1991 the mean age at marriage of females did not cross the minimum legal age at marriage of 18 years.
LIVING ARRANGEMENTS OF THE ELDERLY WOMEN IN A RURAL SETTING OF SOUTH INDIA: PATTERNS, DIFFERENTIALS AND DETERMINANTS
(International Review of Modern Sociology, 1999) Audinaryana N; Sheela J; Kavitha N
Living arrangements of the rural female elderly in India is at the state of deplorable condition Findings from selected villages in southern India suggest that a large proportion of the elderly widowed women live with children, whereas slightly more than half of the married live by themselves (i.e., with spouse only). Birvarate analysis reveal that while the increased monthly income and availability of surviving children are likely to encourage the older people to co-reside with their own children, irrespective of marital status, higher occupational status of the elderly reduces the co-residence with children among widowed. The logistic regression analysis highlighted that women with higher monthly family income, not working, suffering with physical disability and belong to lower caste tend to increase the probability of living with children. On the other hand, the tendency to live with children among the currently married elderly women has increased with the availability of son and their level of education.
MATE SELECTION AND FEMALE AGE AT MARRIAGE: A MICRO LEVEL INVESTIGATION IN TAMIL NADU, INDIA
(Journal of Comparative Family Studies, 2003) Sheela J; Audinarayana N
This paper aims to examine the process of mate selection in determining the age at marriage of 600 ever-married women drawn from rural (300) and urban (300) areas of Salem district, Tamil Nadu. Results based on the Multiple Classification Analysis show that both in rural and urban areas, time taken to initiate marriage process after menarche, caste background, age difference between bride and bridegroom and consultation of women for their marriage have played a greater role in determining their age at marriage in that order. Further, in urban areas, consanguinity has exhibited a highly significant effect on their age at marriage. While the role of payment of dowry has some effect on age at marriage of women both in rural and urban areas, the practice of horoscope matching has such an effect only in rural areas. Contrary to the expectation, first-born daughters enter into matrimony comparatively at higher ages than their later-bom counterparts only in rural areas. A weak support to residential propinquity theory of mate selection is also noticed.

WOMEN'S REPRESENTATION IN POLITY: A NEED TO ENHANCE THEIR PARTICIPATION
(Language in India, 2010) Jayamala M; Sheela J
There is a general impression that development means just creation of infrastructure. As a result of this, development could not become need-based and relevant to social circumstances. Participation implies participation at all stages of the programme, viz., planning, formulation, implementation, decision-making, sharing the benefits of development, monitoring and evaluation. The development of human resources particularly women have been neglected/denied. Educational backwardness is the major reason why women lag behind men. Moreover, women in India experience unacceptable levels of violence in the family within the community, work place, public places and at the custodial institutions. It is the manifestation of the historically unequal power relations between men and women, which have lead to domination over and discrimination against women and the prevention of women's full advancement
