History has often been more comfortable recognising women’s power when it arrives loudly enough to be called rebellion. But courage has never had just one language.

For Bahu Begum, it meant standing by a fallen husband when power and allegiance had begun to shift around him. For Uda Devi, it meant entering the fight herself, taking her place among those resisting the British during the Siege of the Residency. Their choices could hardly have looked more different. What connects them is something history is often less attentive to, the right to act on one’s own conviction.

Because agency is not always a dramatic break from the world one inherits. Sometimes it lies in choosing what to defend, what to refuse, and which role one will no longer allow others to define.

At the 13th edition of Metaphor Lucknow Litfest, advocate and activist Abha Singh returns to the stories of Bahu Begum and Uda Devi to challenge a familiar way of reading women in history, only as victims awaiting liberation.

Instead, these stories ask us to see women as participants in their own histories, making choices, carrying consequences, and exercising power within circumstances they did not necessarily choose.

Perhaps the more interesting question, then, is not whether women possessed power. It is why history has been so selective about what it was willing to recognise as power.
