From 'Sultana's Dream', a canonical work of Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, to writings on women's status in a patriarchal set-up and her comments on 'feeble' Bengali society, this work will open up a factual, fictional, and fantastical-utopian world, which remained largely unknown and unheard outside Bengal.
