How do you think stereotypes, about what women can or cannot do, affect women’s right to equality?
Stereotypes about women's capabilities restrict their opportunities in education and employment, limiting them to roles deemed more suitable for their gender, like nursing. These stereotypes stem from traditional roles within the family, suggesting women are inherently suited for patient and gentle tasks, while technical or challenging roles are off-limits. Consequently, many girls receive less support for careers in fields like engineering or medicine. This discrimination reinforces the belief that marriage is the primary goal for women, further hindering their independence and access to equal opportunities. Women like Laxmi Lakra challenging these stereotypes show that given the chance, women can excel in any field.

How do societal stereotypes influence the division of occupations between men and women according to the chapter? Give examples.
Societal stereotypes dictate that women are suitable for certain jobs like nursing due to perceived gentleness and patience, reinforcing roles linked to family caregiving. Conversely, men are seen as fit for technical or physical roles such as army officers or engineers. These stereotypes limit opportunities for women and steer them towards traditional roles, inhibiting equality in the workforce.
