Abstract: *Mafia Queens of Mumbai: Stories of Women from the Ganglands* explores the hidden world of Mumbai’s criminal underworld through the lives of powerful and unconventional women. With a foreword by Vishal Bhardwaj, the book reveals how these women — from shrewd matriarchs and femme fatales to drug lords and mobster wives — navigated and thrived in a male-dominated world of crime. Blending deep research with compelling storytelling, each chapter highlights their roles as leaders, lovers, and survivors, challenging stereotypes and shedding light on the complex intersection of gender and crime in India’s financial capital.
