And what kind of world made her possible? In this, the first book about Chand Bibi, the author focuses upon the inadequately studied subject of Muslim female power in premodern India. But In Search of Chand Bibi is not just another book about a Muslim woman of medieval India. It is also the author’s personal journey as a historian and the process of doing research about the past.
