Babur's Women Elite Women in Late Medieval Central Asia and North India

This book reconstructs the role of women at Babur's court, whose life (1483-1530) spanned the collapse of Timurid rule in Central Asia and the first phase of Mughal rule in India. The sources, especially Babur's own memoirs, are unusually rich in references to the presence and activities of women in the courts and camps of Babur and his kinsmen. This was a period characterized by a notable florescence in literature and the arts, in women's role was still being determined.Hambly, Gavin R.
