It was really interesting reading this short feminist utopia from 1905 India. The story is understandably very simple as it is only a few pages long, but lays out various aspects of this role-reversed female-led society. Ladyland's resemblances to [b:Herland|531509|Herland|Charlotte Perkins Gilman|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1403189138s/531509.jpg|83484] were many (peace and no crime, vegetarianism/veganism, efficiency, freedom, highly prizing education, etc), though I'm not sure how much that is to do with the shared idea of what a specifically feminist utopia might look like verses common ideas of utopia in general.
