Tiger Slayer: The Extraordinary Story of Nur Jahan, Empress of India
Tiger Slayer: The Extraordinary Story of Nur Jahan, Empress of India
Lal, Ruby
Select Format
More than four centuries ago in India, a Muslim woman ruled a magnificent empire: Nur Jahan, whose name means "light of the world." Nur led troops into battle atop an elephant, hunted tigers, designed public buildings, and issued coinage and royal decrees in her own name. In a world dominated by men, her astute handling of court politics and affairs of state propelled her to the position of co-sovereign of the vast Mughal empire--and made her mighty enemies who would plot to bring about her downfall.
Tiger Slayer combines the gifts of historian Ruby Lal and artist Molly Crabapple to uncover the vibrant and diverse culture of Mughal India and tell the compelling story of a daring, brilliant woman who achieved unequaled power and fame.
