Shakuntala was not among the women scholars of the Vedic period.

Explanation:

In the Vedas, some female scholars have been mentioned.

1. Apala -Mentioned in the Rig Veda, she is ascribed to have composed the hymn $8.91$ and is regarded as a brahmavadini. Having been suffering from a skin disease that rendered her hairless, she was discarded by her husband. In her hymn, she recollects how she worshipped Indra and he blessed her with hair growth.
2. Vishwambhara
3. Gargi- The daughter of sage Vachaknu, she composed various hymns questioning the origin of human existence. She was also one of the famous participants when King Janak of Videha arranged a 'Brahma Yagna'.

Shakuntala is the fictional character that appeared in the epic Mahabharata and was the daughter of the sage Viswamitra and the apsara Menaka.
