Abstract
Stress has both psychological as well as physiological dimensions. Stress is the body's response to the daily events that occur in our life. Everyone experiences stress. Women are more likely than men to report symptoms of stress, including headaches and upset stomachs. Women are also more likely to have a mental health condition that is made worse by stress, such as depression, anxiety, etc. Rapid changes in traditional values, the lifestyle of women, competitiveness, career ambitions, industrialization, and the present pathetic situation in society are the major factors that have changed the whole environment. This change has encouraged and motivated the women to do something on their own, outside home which creates work stress and anxiety. It is very difficult for those who played the role of housewife, mother, daughter, and working women at a time. The main objective of this study is to analyze the level of stress and effect of stress among working. The study includes both primary and secondary data.
