Which one among the following books was authored by a lady of the Mughal Royal House ?

The book 'Humayun Nama' was authored by Gulbadan Begum, who was a prominent lady of the Mughal Royal House. She was the daughter of Emperor Babur and the sister of Emperor Humayun [1]. At the request of her nephew, Emperor Akbar, she wrote this memoir to provide a firsthand account of the reigns of her father and brother, serving as a source for Abul Fazl's official history. Unlike other Mughal chronicles that focused on military conquests, her work is noted for its insights into domestic life and the royal household. In contrast, 'Akbar Nama' was written by Abul Fazl [2], 'Babur Nama' was an autobiography by Emperor Babur himself [1], and 'Badshah Nama' (or Padshah Nama) was primarily authored by Abdul Hamid Lahori, a pupil of Abul Fazl, during the reign of Shah Jahan [2].
