Noor, a descendant of Tipu Sultan, couldn't bear to tell a lie and yet circumstances demanded she become a spy during the Second World War. Sophia, the daughter of the last Maharaja of Punjab, became a firebrand activist. Kashmir's Didda shaped a dynasty, while Shehzaadi Gulbadan documented stories from Mughal India in ways no one ever did. In the south, Velu Nachiyar won her kingdom back from the British. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The women we meet in this book did incredible things. As poets, writers, skilled administrators and warriors, each managed to change the world, rewriting the rules for all who followed. These are their stories-of courage, resistance and persistence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nikita Puri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9357024816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789357024815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupa Publications India Pvt Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.58d","brand":"Nikita Puri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175900033279,"sku":"9789357024815","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b538888-c732-4d6b-a3b4-dd8d0ff20f42.jpg?v=1771336265","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/heroines-of-history-nikita-puri-9789357024815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
