          Women: Masters or Mothers?  is a book containing spiritual
          guidance for women from scriptures and Śrīla Prabhupāda’s
          teachings. A woman who follows the instructions given in
          this book will make her home and family happy in Kṛṣṇa
          consciousness.
          By developing the ideal qualities of a woman as described in
          Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (for example, Arci, Devahūti etc.) she can
          please the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Her ideal example,
          behavior and purity will inspire others in her family to become
          devotees.
          In the  Bhagavad-gītā  Kṛṣṇa instructs Arjuna to execute his
          prescribed duty of fighting as a kṣatriya and at the same time
          remember Kṛṣṇa. By following Kṛṣṇa’s order Arjuna pleased
          Kṛṣṇa.
          Just like Arjuna, women also have their unique prescribed
          duty which is given in various scriptures. And by following
          their duties in Kṛṣṇa consciousness they can also please Kṛṣṇa
          as Arjuna did. Thus this book gives much required guidance
          which can help all women take up their roles as women and
          thus be able to attain to pure devotional service.

          This book to me, as an older woman, looks very positive. These
          thoughts are very much in need! It’s really a big problem when
          women prefer their  career and employment at the  expense
          of their family and above all, their children. This attitude of
          women, when they are intolerant and feel superior to their
