Maharanis: The Extraordinary Tale of Four Indian Queens and Their Journey from Purdah to Parliament by Lucy Moore
5.0
I gave this one five stars not because it was the best written work I have ever ready, but the story that was told was, like the title suggests, extraordinary.
In a world where women exsisted to be wives the four maharanis whose lives Lucy Moore has chronicled were given the best western educations and allowed to grow. Through their lives they transformed a cultre and gave birth to a nation. In everything they did they were mere humans who took their roles of mystical rulers for the good of their people to heart.
Lucy Moore, thank you for telling their story. Thank you for giving us a new historical perceptive.
