The women characters :Mother

well I am not qualified enough to talk of the women characters of Mahabharata not just of the characters of Mahabharata but women in general.Their mindset follow a set of more complex rules that the entire mahabharata.Its not possible for us to tell how draupadi inspired the five pandavas at war.
What i can talk of on mothers day today and every day about the mother is a separate reflection altogether.
My mind suggest that the love of a mother and her her different affliction and affections to her child was treated with great care by the narrator of mahabharata.
Satyavati: a mother who fights with keen ness for her childs rights.
Gandhari :a mother who is blind to her childs follies and small mistakes.
Kunti: a mother who brings up her child all by herself.
Yasodha: a mother who dispenses a lot of love for a child she adopts( a mdern world dictum)
Devaki: a mother who confines her dreams and asspirations concentrating her total energies for her child.
The narrator of mahabharata has written the characters with aplomb deliberately separates all the attributes and names them as separate characters.
But to all the characters he puts the essence of sustainance of mother earth who hold their own and also stand as a protective cover for their child as and when they need the mothers support..
