About the Book

Lakshmi Bai, Jhansi Ki Rani was one of the first, and most important voices against British rule in India. As a child, Lakshmi Bai was brought up to stand up for herself and give voice to the weak. Unafraid, and unbowed, Lakshmi Bai went out fighting the ones who wanted to oppress her and immortalized her name in Indian history. Illustrated imaginatively, this book gives us a glimpse into the life of an unforgettable woman who became a legend and a role model for countless revolutionaries.
