Moore, Lucy
Maharanis: The Extraordinary Tale of Four Indian Queens and their Journey from Purdah to Parliament
New York Viking; Penguin 2005 0670033685 / 9780670033683 First U.S. Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
Cloth, gilt, ix, 351 pp., illus., maps, bib. notes, index; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated "First American edition." Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Here is a rare glimpse behind purdah's curtain into the lives of four brilliant maharanis - the wives of Maharajas - who helped shepherd princely India into the twentieth century. Tracing the lives of these influential women from the final days of the raj and the British Empire to the present, Lucy Moore vividly re-creates a splendid lost world as well as describes the growing pains of the emerging democratic society in India .. These women have lived in a lavish, if sometimes tragic, fairy tale - their palaces were modeled on Versailles; they wore sunglasses carved out of emeralds and saris made of chiffon. They kept jewel-encrusted turtles for luck, went on tiger hunts with the European royalty, and socialized with the chic and infamous. With exhausting frequency they lost husbands and children to alcoholism. But throughout their glamorous lives they fought tirelessly for civil rights and were able to turn a tradition of noblesse oblige into a progressive democracy. / Lucy Moore was born in London, raised in Massachusetts, and educated at Edinburgh University. She writes for a wide variety of British magazines and newspapers as well as The Washington Times. She is the author of two previous books of British history." - Publisher.
