This book highlights debates in the epics among men and women from all sections of society. These debates criticize discrimination based on gender, varna, poverty, age, and disability through the dharmas of singleness, friendship, marriage, parenting, and ruling. This is a beautiful book that will be useful and inspiring for many readers interested in the magnificent and brilliant Mahabharata and Ramayana, and that will also prompt helpful contemplation of what it should mean to behave justly and expect just treatment in return.
