Sultana’s dream and Padmarag by Rokeya Sakhawait Hussain.

A book i ignored for years

A book i thought to be a sob story

A book that outlived my expectations

A book that was written in early 20th century

A book written by a self taught activist

A book with 2 novellas as its content

Has a satirical dream of ladyland

Men are in purdah and women running government

Again, it tells its a dream

A beautiful ambitious dream of

A woman in purdah,

Then has another story

Another feminist dream

Set in a place Tarini Bhavan

Not any less than ladyland

An amazing feminist utopia

So appealing that i forgot it's a fiction

Enters a damsel in distress

Who takes multiple pseudonyms

Has all the world problems

then she’s everything but helpless

She's got help

There’s more then there’s nothing much

Its all how you and i understand

Again, trust me it's not a sob story of women

It is a witty sarcastic satire that owns up to it

Pick up this book right away

It's a short one go kinda book

You wont regret picking it,

If you’re still reading,

Don't come at me for this mere attempt

I don't know what to call this

Lets just say i changed format for this book

Tell me what would you call

This amateur format of mine

And rescue me

The whirlpool of my overthinking.
