More about the book
Phoolan Devi, the fearless young bandit, terrorized the ravines of Uttar Pradesh, India, between 1979 and 1983, before ultimately surrendering and voluntarily going to prison.

Her journey from a life of crime to a voice for justice highlights the struggles faced by marginalized communities and the fight for gender equality in a patriarchal society. Through her story, the book explores themes of resilience, empowerment, and the quest for dignity amidst adversity.
