The Light They Carried: Sikh Women Through the Ages, 1469โ2026 is an inspiring and accessible exploration of the remarkable women whose faith, courage, wisdom and selfless service have helped shape Sikh history for more than five centuries.
Written by Satnam Rakhra as part of the popular Sikhism in Plain English series, this beautifully presented book introduces readers to the lives of extraordinary Sikh womenโfrom Bebe Nanaki, the first to recognise Guru Nanak Dev Ji's spiritual greatness, to Mata Khivi, Mata Gujri, Mai Bhago, Maharani Jind Kaur, Princess Sophia Duleep Singh, Bibi Parkash Kaur, and the countless Sikh women whose dedication strengthened families, communities and the Panth across generations.
