The Lost Heer explores the overlooked lives of women in colonial Punjab. Challenging traditional male-centric historical accounts, it highlights women's struggles, resilience, and contributions by drawing on archival materials, oral histories, and regional literature.

The book features prominent and forgotten figures alike, such as Aas Kaur, Mai Fatto, Bibi Sahib Kaur, Manmohini Zutshi, Raghbir Kaur, Dr. Premdevi, and Khadija Begum Ferozeuddin, enriching our understanding of Punjabi history by centering those previously marginalized. This book also includes some rare photographs dating back to the 19th century.
