Phoolan Devi: Rebel Queen
by Claire Fauvel Author
A big, full-color graphic novel about India's beloved modern-day Robin Hood. Sold into marriage at 11, she escaped to join a roving gang of bandits. When she was raped by a rival gang of a higher caste, she hunted down and killed the two dozen men who'd attacked her. She was imprisoned, but her exploits made her a popular hero, and on her release she was elected to India's parliament; a few years later, she was assassinated in retribution for her massacre. A story of violence, trauma, caste warfare, and heroism, this graphic story is for mature readers.
