Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. A BRAVE QUEEN OF AVADH WHO LED HER KINGDOM DURING AN UPRISING. A 73-YEAR-OLD FREEDOM FIGHTER WHO STOOD HER GROUND AGAINST BRITISH SOLDIERS. A FEARLESS TEEN HERO FROM NAGALAND WHO DEFENDED THE RIGHTS OF HER COMMUNITY. These extraordinary Indian women, and others like them featured in this book shared one common goal: to stand up against the British and fight for India's freedom from colonial rule. Bravely setting out from their homes, these homemakers and princesses, politicians and poets, doctors and artists, and lawyers and educationists marched in protest, starved on hunger strikes, rallied supporters, went to jail and led from the front. From Sarojini Naidu to Matangini Hazra, from Aruna Asaf Ali to Rani Gaidinliu, from Muthulakshmi Reddi to Hansa Mehta, and from Annie Mascarene to Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, they showed amazing courage in breaking their shackles and facing grave challenges to liberate the country. Bringing together the inspiring stories of the lives of more than 25 remarkable women, Her Name Was Freedom is a tribute to these feisty torchbearers of India's independence movement, who left a lasting legacy for generations to come.
