Feminist fathers in Mythology: The story of King Janaka and his daughters

Janaka was an ancient Indian king of Videha, approximately in the 8th or 7th century BCE. He is revered as being an ideal example of non-attachment to material possessions. He was intensely interested in spiritual discourse and considered himself free from worldly illusions.
King Janaka always taught his daughters to lead and they were not discouraged from speaking up or voicing their opinions and choice.
