A tribal woman occupies an important place in the socio economic and political structure of her society. They exercise free and firm hand in all aspects related to their social and economic life. But it is still important to emphasize that the tribal woman is in herself exactly the same as any other woman with the same passion, love and fears, the same devotion to the home, to husband and two children, the same faults and the same virtues. Though the tribal women are away from the main stream of national life, but they are not kept away from the impact of socio-economic changes effecting the neighborhood or society in general. In the process of change, the tribal woman is forced to adhere to certain norms which may even take away her freedom, her control over the traditional productive system, her house, family and children and even her own life. The process of such alienation has an impact on the tribal women.
In general almost all early anthropological writings whether of Bach fan or Henry Maine supported this view viz., that 'women in primitive society enjoyed status equal to that of men'. However, some later scholars have demolished both the notions that there is a universal evolutionary scheme, and that women in societies with matrilineal descent have a particularly lofty status.
