Over the past few years, increasing numbers of Indian mothers whose children are still young have started working outside their homes. To explore the impact of this maternal employment, a sample of 120 adolescents, 60 with working mothers and 60 with mothers who were fulltime homemakers, 30 males and 30 females in each sub sample was chosen. Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, Bell Adjustment Inventory (student form), and Parental Attachment Questionnaire were administered to study their personality, adjustment pattern and attachment to their parents respectively. Mean, SD and F test were computed. The results revealed that there is a significant effect of the job status of mother on the subject's adjustment in the area of health and hostility-friendliness and a combined effect of both the variables (job status of mother and gender of adolescent) on personality dimension of extraversion-introversion and neuroticism-stability, their adjustment in the area of submissiveness-self assertion and their attachment to their parent.

In the last century, various revolutions have been done. But the women movements struggling for the rights of women has its origin recently. The law of the land “constitution” provides for equality but the real equality is yet to be achieved between man and woman. The rate of happenings of crime against women is on a hike. There is a great gap between the formulation of laws and their active implemention. India has faced various social reform movements for women.
