The only detailed and annotated work on the subject, superseding the author's earlier book. The substance and significance of Babajan's life are recounted and assessed here. Her Sufi orientation is evident, though she was independent of the Sufi orders. The nature of this independence is investigated in a chapter on the distinctive and radical qalandar tradition. The author also addresses the topic of Sufi women over the centuries, a largely uncharted subject, which has evocative historical and social significances.
