What happens when a princess fights for political change? In this episode of Heroine City, Lynsey Shaw is joined by historian, teacher and writer Shalina Patel to explore the extraordinary life of Sophia Duleep Singh. Born into Indian royalty and raised in Britain, Sophia became one of the most prominent suffragettes of the early twentieth century. From selling The Suffragette newspaper outside Hampton Court Palace to campaigning alongside Emmeline Pankhurst and refusing to pay taxes under the slogan "No taxation without representation," Sophia used her status to challenge injustice and fight for women's rights. Together, Lynsey and Shalina discuss Sophia's remarkable journey, the complexities of identity, empire and belonging. Join us for a fascinating conversation about courage, activism and one woman who refused to stay silent.
