Sultana's Dream

Paperback,

Begum Rokheya Sakhawat Hossain's Sultana’s Dream first appeared in 1905, ten years before the American feminist and novelist Charlotte P. Gilman published her feminist utopia Herland. An appealing story of how peace-loving women overpowered aggressive men through the power of their brains, this slim book anticipates radical ecological and feminist themes that continue to engage our attention to this day.

This edition is also a fascinating dialogue across time and cultures: Durga Bai, a brilliant woman artist from the Gond tribe of central India, has drawn her response to Rokheya Hossain’s startling 100 year old feminist fable from the early twentieth century, adding a new layer of meaning to a classic text.

Illustrated by Durga Bai
