பெண் ஏன் அடிமையானாள்?

Pen Yen Adimaiyanaal Book is a powerful Tamil social commentary that digs deep into one of the most important questions in human history — Why did women become oppressed? This book does not stop with simple answers. It takes the reader through centuries of cultural traditions, social rules, economic conditions, and historical changes that shaped the role of women in society.

From ancient Tamil civilization to today’s modern world, the book explains how women’s rights, freedom, and identity were slowly taken away by systems created mostly by men. It highlights how religious customs, caste systems, and patriarchal practices controlled women’s choices — from education to marriage, property, and even daily life decisions.

Unlike many social books, Pen Yen Adimaiyanaal is written in simple Tamil. Anyone — students, women, men, teachers, civil service aspirants, and social studies learners — can read and understand it clearly. Each chapter brings unique insights backed by history, sociology, and real-life examples.

The author also discusses the role of political systems and economic changes. How women were pushed into unpaid domestic work, how their mobility was restricted, and how society normalized these restrictions as “culture”. This book questions everything and forces the reader to think.

Another important part of the book is how it highlights the strength of women. Instead of portraying them only as victims, it shows how women resisted, fought for their rights, created revolutions, and changed their communities. It talks about great Tamil women who shaped society through courage and knowledge.

This book is not only for feminists or social activists. It is for every person who wants to understand how society works and how equality can be achieved. It helps the reader self-reflect and understand how even today, some old beliefs continue to affect women’s lives.
