Women’s studies has evolved in the past few decades as a vibrant subject with important contributions to make to the mass existing knowledge. It questions traditional ways of thinking. It revisits and reinterprets available information offering alternate and more holistic perspectives in contrast to conventional binary approaches. Women’s studies first emerged in India during the 1970s as a forceful critique of those processes that had made women invisible after independence-invisible not only to society and the state, but also to higher education and its discipline. Women’s Studies is a ‘Scientific and systematic study of Women’s / gender issues involved in the structure and functions of any society’. It is still digging out the hidden realities of women especially the biology and sociology of women and their mutual contribution in defining women and consequently their status and position. This paper “Economic Condition of Paliyar Tribal Women’s in Bodinayakanur” deals about the Paliyar Women’s Economic Condition in Bodinayakanur.
