Join historian and best-selling author Ruby Lal for a discussion of her newest book, Vagabond Princess: The Great Adventures of Gulbadan. She will be joined in conversation by journalist Aparita Bhandari to probe women’s stories and feminine experience in the history of South Asia and beyond. Lal is the first scholar to study Princess Gulbadan’s memoir, the only woman historian of the Mughal empire. The Princess's exquisite writing gives us incredible insight into the daily life of the court in war, in movement, and in settlement- including Gulbadan's own adventures. This illustrated talk and conversation will bring to life the subject of movement and freedom, feminist practice of history, and Lal's experience in uncovering the audacious life of Gulbadan, tied to one of the greatest adventures in the world.
