Gulbadan Begum — The Mughal Princess Who Defied The Ottoman Empire And Wrote History | True Story`

Gulbadan Begum — The Mughal Princess Who Defied The Ottoman Empire And Wrote History. Daughter of Babur. Sister of Humayun. Aunt of Akbar. And the only woman in history to write a first-hand account of any medieval Islamic empire.
