A Princess's Pilgrimage by Siobhan Lambert-Hurley
In 1870, Begum Nawab Sikandar of Bhopal became the first Muslim woman to publish an account of her pilgrimage to Mecca. Her critical description gives a unique insight into the factors that went into writing this quintessentially Muslim journey in a colonial environment. This title is an English translation of an Urdu manuscript.
