A review by thestoryofaz
Sultana's Dream and Padmarag by Rokeya Hossain
reflective
medium-paced
3.75
It is difficult to imagine a woman daring to publish a speculative fiction piece about a feminist utopia back then, and that too in English. Rokeya, you will always be famous.
Perhaps I should have read Padmarag in Bengali after all since I believe much of the beauty of the story had been lost in translation. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it for what it is.
It is rather unfortunate how these two tales are still relevant in this day and age. How much have we progressed really?
