7.       conclusion

frailty is a trait mostly represented by the unprivileged segment of society, ‘women’. In the leaves of history, frailty as breakable, weak and delicate has befitted episodes on account of women. After deliberating on the past episodes, it reflects the actual scenarios. However, frailty is an absolute term; it has different determinants to gauge on the scale of the spiritual, physical, and moral front. However, the status quo has changed diametrically. Now few women, for instance, Margaret Thatcher, Indra Gandhi, and Mother Teresa, has changed the course and become an icon of strength. This lightened hope for other women to prove themselves as ‘examples. Thus, this would assist in shattering the illusion of frailty. To round up, it is still debatable whether fragility is a myth or a reality. Therefore, it requires delicate efforts to resolve the status of women’s status in water-tight circumstances.
