About this listen

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.

In fact, it is a blend of multiple genres, including:

  • 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.
