So wonderful. Short, lovely to read and glorious ideas. ( )

A thought-experiment short story about a woman who dreams she's in a utopia called Ladyland where gender roles are reversed. As a result of men not making societal decisions, there is no crime, work days are only two hours long, and technological advances made by women provide everything society needs. It points out ridiculous arguments for the oppression of women. I'm glad to have read it and (from the introduction) learned about the Muslim Bengali author's feminist achievements in the early 1900s. ( )

Reviewed in a collection.

Early feminist science fiction written as a short story in English by a Bengali woman. Essential reading for anyone interested in feminist utopias or science fiction from 1905. A fun read too as it was reputedly originally written by Rokeya Hossain to entertain her spouse. ( )

Delightful role inversion. ( )
