Brave hearts

Rani of Jhansi in Times list of resolute wives.

The young and fiery 19th century queen Lakshmibai of Jhansi, who fought the British valiantly in the 1857 war, has been listed by the Time magazine, with the likes of Michelle Obama and Sarah Palin, among 10 wives who were resolute even in troubled times.

The magazine compiled its list of 10 such women following the much-talked about charge by Rupert Murdoch’s wife Wendi Dang against the man who tried to throw a pie at her husband’s face.
