Woman and Rebellion
- With Osho known as an appreciator of female qualities, and as a supporter of the rights of women in a male-dominated world, Woman and Rebellion is a collection of his early talks given to students attending some of India’s all-women colleges. As India – and much of the world – continues to struggle with gross physical abuse against women, these timeless talks point to valuable understandings and viable solutions.
- The talks explore the beliefs women hold that have allowed them to remain enslaved by men; whether the women’s liberation movement is succeeding in bringing freedom; the fundamental differences between the two sexes; and also questions which educational system would most benefit the feminine qualities. Osho challenges us to consider the meaning of true liberation.
- “Until now, man has not allowed a woman to become an individual; instead he has tried his best that she should not become an individual. For thousands of years, a woman was not allowed to be educated because education bestows a personality. So education was stopped, thinking that there was no need for a woman to be educated. “Education was forbidden to women for thousands of years because if she gets an education, a woman will learn how to think – and thoughts bring rebellion, rebellion brings individuality.” (Osho)
