Abstract
This analytical paper studies the impact of Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain's short narrative Sultana's Dream on traditional gender roles and stereotypes. Born into a traditional Bengali Muslim family, Begum Rokeya shed cultural expectations by advocating for women's education and literacy. Sultana’s Dream, a pioneering feminist science fiction work, satirises patriarchal society by imagining a utopian future with gender roles reversed. Through a critical evaluation of Sultana's Dream, this paper exhibits Rokeya's revolutionary views on gender equality, education, and intellectual empowerment, contrasting her work with contemporary feminist works such as Barbie (2023). The essay emphasises Rokeya's constant struggle for women's liberation and its continued relevance in today’s evolving world.
