Historian Ruby Lal and award-winning illustrator Molly Crabapple. The book uncovers the awe-inspiring true story of Empress Nur Jahan, the only woman to ever rule the Mughal Empire. In a time when women were expected to stay hidden, Nur Jahan stood in the spotlight as an empress, a strategist, an artist, and a force no one could ignore. For young adults who dream of bold adventures and gentle revolutions, this book is a soft, stirring invitation to join a queen on her epic path to power.

For the event, its Eric Chopra to be in conversation with Ruby Lal. Eric is the founder of Itihasology Given Eric’s personal and professional work in championing history and art via Itihasology, his presence aligns well with both the book and the venue.

The dialogue will be followed by an interactive session with the audience, refreshment, and a book signing.
