( ) 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. no reviews | add a review

This title provides a retelling of a hundred year old feminist fable. It begins with the narrator falling into a slumber and waking to a world where women are learned and men are content with their place in the kitchen. A smiley queen explains how this world came to be, and how women won thier peace against men and their warlike ways. No library descriptions found. |
