Phoolan Devi, rebel queen
(Graphic Novel)

"This book was inspired by the autobiographical books Moi, Phoolan Devi, reine des bandits by Phoolan Devi and Marie-Thérèse Cuny with the collaboration of Paul Rambali."

Includes bibliographical references.

"She rebelled against the ancient tribal rules in her country of India, resulting in her becoming a Robin Hood type bandit. Essentially sold at the age of 11 to become a wife for a much older man, she ran away when he raped her. From that point on, there were few choices for her but to join a roaming gang of bandits, her ambition leading her to become their rebel chief. Ultimately, society caught up with her and she even became a strong voice for change, women, and social justice as a representative in the Indian parliament. A story of courage and unbending determination in front of centuries of established inequities in the classic Indian caste system."--Back cover.
