Sultana's Dream

Summary

Sultana’s Dream by Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, published in 1905, is considered one of the earliest feminist science fiction works, especially in South Asian literature.

• Science Fiction - It envisions a futuristic, utopian society with advanced technology.

• Feminist Utopian Fiction - It depicts a matriarchal world where women lead and men are secluded, challenging traditional gender roles.

• Social Satire - It critiques patriarchy and societal norms in a thought-provoking way.
