Of course she should! I am reminded of the great dialogue

between the rishi yAjnavalkya and his wife maitreyi that

takes a central place in the brhadAraNyaka upanishad.

We see in maitreyi's questions some of the fundamental

issues facing the individual. Where would Vedanta be

without her questioning? And what of Gargi, who would

not rest until her curiosity about ultimate reality

led to Brahman Itself?
