This paper proposes to explore Rabindranath Tagore's vision and views on women as reflected in his writings. After a discussion of the writer's family background and of his relations with women both in his family and as friends, this essay focuses on Tagore's perception of the birth of the "new woman", that is, a woman who challenges convention, and seeks to establish a new form of social order
