Women constitute half of our population and play a vital role in the development of family, the community and the nation. It has been widely recognized that unless women's potential is properly developed, no transformation and economic development is possible. Therefore, to accelerate the growth and prosperity of the nation, it is very important to create opportunities for socio economic development of women. In fact, since independence, it has been felt that women experience poverty to a great extent than men do. The benefits of poverty eradication programmes targeted towards the head of the households have failed to trickle down and reached the women. Since then, The Government of India (GOI) has been emphasizing the need for designing separate development programmes for women and to earmark a specific percentage for women beneficiaries in other rural development programmes. Self Help Group and microfinance are the tools for women empowerment. The above terms are interwoven. The book entitled “Self Help Group and Women Empowerment - A discourse” has thrown light on the concept of women empowerment, microfinance and Self Help Group and how they are interlinked based on available review of literature. And lastly the inferences drawn from the study following a definite methodological aspect.
