Abstract or Introduction
This essay is about the role of women in patriarchal societies all over the world. The theme of women in literary and scholarly narratives is all pervasive. It is notable that women all over the world and especially in patriarchal societies as well occupy an exalted role defined by their gendered identity as for instance tea practices in Mongolia with an opportunity for them to generate differentiated power, female celebrations in Uzbekistan and Afghanistan where their symbolic identity with cosmology is highlighted, on occasions when female deities under water are invoked to protect fishermen, and in several nations, cities, and villages where virgin Mary is sought as a protectress.
