Self esteem is important for all, especially the women, as it’s a known fact that since ages, women have lived under the rule of the patriarchal mindset of Indian society. Be it your father, your brother, your father-in-law or your husband, all women have faced dominance in their lives by the male members of the family. The importance of self esteem cannot be under-rated. Low self-esteem affects your behavior, thoughts, your confidence, your happiness, your success and thinking in a major way.

Is lack of self-esteem related to lack of ability?
