Book Details

In this thought-provoking exploration, the concept of heroism in women is dissected, challenging the conventional associations tied to physical strength and extravagant bravery often attributed to men. The women portrayed in this narrative, including Draupadi, Radha, Ambapali, Raziya Sultan, Meerabai, Jahanara, Laxmibai, and Hazrat Mahal, embody a distinct form of heroism that transcends easy categorization. United by an unwavering belief in a cause, these women exhibit a willingness to confront patriarchal norms, even if it means fighting to the death. The book introduces the reader to compelling characters like Draupadi, a dharma queen, whose story dates back almost three millennia; Radha, the goddess who sacrifices societal respectability for unconventional love; Ambapali, a courtesan who forsakes luxury to follow the Buddha; and many more. Each woman's narrative unfolds against the backdrop of her unyielding commitment to a cause, leading to confrontations with a society aghast at their audacity. From Raziya, the battle-scarred warrior and proud Sultan, to Laxmibai, the widow, patriot, and martyr who rides into legend fighting for her son's birthright, these portraits blend mythological and historical characters. These women, whether daughters, wives, courtesans, mothers, queens, goddesses, or warriors, reclaim their rightful place in history, showcasing a diverse range of heroines who defy societal norms and leave an indelible mark on the world.
