About the Book
Madame Pandit: The Trailblazing Life of Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit
In this definitive biography, Manu Bhagavan brings to life the extraordinary journey of Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit—a pioneering diplomat, politician, and international icon.
Hailed by Eleanor Roosevelt as “the most remarkable woman” she had ever met, Pandit was a force in global politics, paving the way for women in diplomacy and governance. As India’s first woman cabinet minister and first ambassador to the UN and the Soviet Union, she shattered barriers, culminating in her historic election as President of the UN General Assembly.
Known for her charm, wit, and fearless intellect, Pandit moved in elite circles, trading verbal barbs with Churchill, debating Jan Smuts, and outshining Hollywood celebrities. She was arrested for attempting to assassinate Mussolini, warned JFK against going to Dallas, and later emerged as a formidable opponent to her niece, Indira Gandhi, in a dramatic battle of democracy vs. authoritarianism.
Drawing on eight years of meticulous research across multiple countries and languages, Bhagavan paints an intimate portrait of Madame Pandit, a woman who redefined leadership, diplomacy, and the role of women in the modern world.
