The only woman to acquire the stature of empress in her male-dominated world, Nur was also a talented dress designer and innovative architect whose work inspired her stepson鈥檚 Taj Mahal.

Here, she finally receives her due in a deeply researched and evocative biography that awakens us to a fascinating history.
