An all-too-brief little story, but packs a punch. Muslim feminist utopian science fiction, you say? That predicts solar power, you say?? Written in 1905, you say???

3.5 stars really. A utopian short story about an Indian woman's dream for a liberated society.

Considering the time it was written in and place where the author was situated, this indeed is a bold piece of work. It comes across as a science fiction(again accolades to the author for making that attempt) but in substance, it is a smartly written socio-political critique.

A fascinating tale of how a society that was patriarchal became matriarchal. This early feminist piece is so short and sweet!
