The Queen of Jhansi

Lakshmibai, the Queen of Jhansi, a legendary Indian heroine, led her troops against the British in the uprising of 1857, which is widely described as the first Indian War of Independence. This work traces the history of the growing resistance to the British, while building a picture of Lakshmibai as a complex, spirited, full-blooded woman.
