One of the first science-fiction utopian stories and early feminist classics by pioneering writer Rokeya Hossain, featuring the celebrated texts Sultana’s Dream and Padmarag. In Sultana’s Dream, a Muslim woman in colonial India falls asleep and wakes up in Ladyland, a futuristic utopian society where traditional gender roles are completely reversed: women run a peaceful, scientifically advanced civilization utilizing solar energy while men are kept in domestic seclusion. The accompanying novella Padmarag presents an equally visionary depiction of a women-run school and welfare center, combining fierce feminist critique with powerful anti-colonial perspectives.
