Ahilyabai Holkar, Maharani of Indore, India

Ahilyabai was born a commoner but was chosen as the bride of a prince at the age of 8. When her Husband was killed in battle she was convinced not to commit sati by throwing herself on his funeral pyre. She instead became a warrior princess and studied statecraft. When her father-in-law and then son died, she became the ruler of Indore. Her just rule, love of peace, care for her people and numerous building projects have made her famous across India.
