Assam has traditionally a patriarchal society just like other states of India. In recent times we see the growing presence of Assamese women in national and international arena. Whatever may be the reason, Assamese women were always visible. Due to print and electronic media, today, activities of Assamese women have got wide publicity. But the irony is that despite their growing presence, we see some worst examples of growing patriarchy which are really paradoxical and can be called threat to women empowerment., In this secondary data based analytical study an attempt is made to examine the level of empowerment of women in Assam for possible contradictory result from the collected data.
