Question
Who wrote the book 'Sultana's Dream'? Why is this a remarkable story?
Solution
Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain wrote Sultana's Dream. The tale is important since it is among the very first works by a female author and is likely the first known example of science fiction literature in India. In her dream, Sultana travels to a land where gender roles are reversed and males are subject to the Purdah while women are scientists in search of new discoveries and airships. Because of their gender, it showed how unfairly women were treated.
