AWWA -Army Wives Welfare Association- Defends widows Woman Who Dreams from America by Sapna Anu B George The world is progressively moving forward with drastric developments in various spheres. Man has used his wisdom from inventing the wheel to technology that has gone into taking him into the moon. Dominance of Man in every field has given rise to womanpower, who desire recognition and understand the need to explore their dormant competence levels that exist within them. This has resulted in giving the male counter parts a rush of adrenalin to improve their competitive advantage. Women have been able to make great inroads, within all fields, molding themselves into excellent Leadership and Management roles within organizations as well as in family setups. Highlighting one such example of a woman that has been able to transform and grow from rather stringent cultural societies, to a modern and visionary individual is Ms. Valsala Sekhar. Ms.Valsala
