A Comprehensive Study to Women’s Rights and Progress in Sultana’s Dream
Abstract
This study aims at examining women’s rights and progress of early 20th century and the vision of Rokeya Sakhawat
Hossain portrayed inBengali feminist utopian story Sultana’s Dream. The story encompasses the women who are modern
architects, scientists, engineers and something like that of the Ladyland where men are kept in purdah namely Mardana.
Besides, it brings out a utopia far more technologically advanced, efficient and peaceful world than the one we live in the
reality. The article also observes the Ladyland under female rule that transforms into a utopian vision of idyllic life where
crime is eliminated, agriculture flourishes, science and technology develop and religious practices are practiced through
love and truth. Education spreads gradually and the women are able to live without fear and obstacles, which capture
them within four walls in the present world based on male domination.
