Dreamy animated images in detailed henna painting and atmospheric waterlours dominate a young Spanish ist’s moving journey of disvery. In a small book in India, Inés es across the feminist-uian science fiction story “Sultana’s Dream.” It is about the terrible revenge on men, the bookseller explains. In the slim volume she wrote in 1905, Rokeya Hossain describes the fantasy realm of Ladyland – a land in which women are self-determined and live in peace, in which they run all government affairs and all forms of education are open to them. And the men? Their place in Ladyland, the bookseller ntinues, is where they belong: locked up at home.
　　Fascinated by the literary “painting” of this place and its inventor, Inés sets out in the footsteps of the writer and teacher Hossain, who championed education and equal rights for Indian girls and women as early as the beginning of the 20th century. The trip takes the Spaniard across ntemporary India. Her panions are the dreams of Ladyland – and the utterly different realities of the lives of the women she meets on her journey.
