VEDIC BACKGROUND : Vedas advocates special status to the women in society. Women composed hymns in the Vedic period; there were philosophers in the Upanisadic times; there were women poets and writers of kavya in the kavya period; and there were samnyasinis mentioned right up to the time of Bhavabhuti.

                                                            यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते तत्र देवताः ।

                                                          यत्रैतास्तु न पूज्यन्ते सर्वास्तत्राफलाः क्रियाः ।। मनुस्मृति ३/५६ ।। 

                     जहाँ स्त्रियों की पूजा होती है वहाँ देवता निवास करते हैं और जहाँ स्त्रियों की पूजा नही होती है,                                                              उनका सम्मान नही होता है वहाँ किये गये समस्त अच्छे कर्म निष्फल हो जाते हैं। 

                                             Where women are worshiped, there lives the Gods.                                                                                                  Wherever they are not worshiped, all actions result in failure. - ManuSmriti 3/56

In the Rigveda, Aditi is frequently implored, "for blessings on chidren and cattle, for protection and for forgiveness". Aditi is called Deva-matri- Mother of the Gods. Agnayi is the wife of Agni. The Vedic wisdom was revealed in hymns by great many seers including 27 women known as Brahmavadinis.  Harita, an author of an early sutra, mentions two kinds of woman: the brahmavadinis and the sadyovadhus. Brahmavadinis undergo upanayana, feed the fire (i.e., keep it burning), study the Veda, and beg for alms. As for sadyovadhus, they should marry after having undergone the upanayana (just as a ritual, though, and not followed by study).
