摘要：This study is conducted with the purpose to study the dual role of women in advanced contemporary societies. At present they are performing dual roles of a housewife and a professional. This dual role on one side is helping women to enter into a wider life and liberating her from the exclusiveness of domesticity but on other side is taking away her intimate primary relations with her. Not only this, they are facing numerous problems at workplace .For instance when they switch outside for job they face the problem of transportation, often looked down with suspicion by family members ,gender inequality at work place, sexual demands made by colleagues or senior co –workers, discrimination in terms of salaries, increments, promotions ,sexual harassment etc. This not only results in frustration but in order to beat competition with her counterparts she gradually isolates her from social gathering so that she could give her hundred percent in professional role. This situation results in role conflict and hence she sacrifices one role at the cost of other which is not only shattering her marital, family life but also resulting in her personality disorganization..
