    "the sultana's dream" is online, and well worth a read: https://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/sultana/dream/dream....

    Added all of these to my Goodreads -- as an Indian, I had no idea that these books existed. Great article (with some really cool UI choices); I'm looking forward to reading more from this magazine! Thanks for sharing.

      She is also read well in Bangladesh because she wrote primarily in Bengali. Infact she was well versed in quite a few languages. Her Sultana's Dream is a little over the top though

        And also because she was from what is now Bangladesh. Same with Bose from this list.

    Seems like it's the first article of this magazine. I'd be excited to see what else they work on but I don't see any links to an rss feed :(

    Should we not start with Ramayana and Mahabartham? Although they are religious texts they had a lot of science fiction storylines.
