Mahabharat ki kahani jitni Krishna, Karna aur Arjun jaise purushon ki hai, utni hi Kunti, Draupadi aur Gandhari jaisi striyon ki bhi. Par aksar mahan purushon ki dekhi-suni kahaniyon se jyada rochak hoti hain utni hi mahan striyon ki kahaniyan, jo andekhi-ansuni rah gayi hain. Is khas peshkash mein suniye Mahabharat ki great women ki rochak kahaniyan, jinke bina Mahabharat ki kahani likhi hi nahi ja sakti thi.
