Who among the following ladies wrote a historical account during the Mughal period ?

Gulbadan Begum, daughter of Babur, is recorded as the author of the Humayun-nama (Humayun Namah), a Persian historical account focusing on the life and reign of Emperor Humayun. The compiled list of Mughal works explicitly names Gulbadan Begum and her work “Humayun Namah,” noting its content as history of Humayun [1]. Scholarly and popular accounts further describe Gulbadan’s memoir as the first significant female-authored narrative of early Mughal court life and historiography, often called the Humayun-nama, written from her personal and familial perspective. This distinguishes her among the listed ladies as the one who composed a historical account during the Mughal period.
