It's a man's world. And the men always want it to be that way. However, in the 21st century, women are leaving no stone unturned in their climb to the top. They've scaled Everest (Bachendri Pal), travelled to space (Kalpana Chawla), driven the fastest cars (Danica Patrick) and can pack a powerful punch too (Laila Ali).
However, the heroics of our tinsel town women (non-actors) who storm into traditional male bastions, tend to go unnoticed. Besides no recognition, such women are looked upon with disrespect by their own colleagues. In a conservative society likes ours, it's a common feature.
This women's day, Mayur Lookhar dug deep to unveil a few women who've thrived in a traditionally male dominated arena.
