Empress: The Astonishing Reign of Nur Jahan
Ruby Lal in conversation with Shahzia Sikandar
Four centuries ago, a woman ruled the Mughal Empire. Her multifaceted personality was both celebrated and reviled for her political acumen and diplomatic skill. She led troops, issued imperial orders, and had coins of the realm in her name. Acclaimed historian Ruby Lal, in conversation with Shahzia Sikander, brings to life the complex personality of a woman ahead of her times.
