Book Summary
Mafia Queen: Stories Of Women From The Ganglands is a gripping, meticulously researched hardback that shines a light on 13 remarkable women who left an indelible mark on Mumbai’s notorious underworld. Part true crime, part social history, this book invites adult readers and curious minds who want to understand the hidden dynamics of crime through women’s perspectives. The tone is thoughtful, revealing, and steady, offering both an immersive narrative and a serious documentary lens.
From the molls and couriers to the masterminds behind smuggling and gun-running, these profiles show how women shaped the course of crime in Mumbai. The authors weave meticulous research with accessible storytelling, delivering documentary-style portraits that feel intimate and historically grounded. The book situates the narrative within the bustling neighborhoods of Kamathipura and Dongri, offering readers a vivid sense of place and the social dynamics that made these women both resilient and influential.
After finishing Mafia Queen, readers gain a deeper understanding of women's agency in the shadows of society and view Mumbai’s past through a more human, nuanced lens. This thoughtful, powerful work leaves a lasting impression about resilience, power, and the complexity of history.
