Written in 1905 this is an interesting story about a world where men are held inside and women roam free, well if men are the most risk why not?
Solar power is an interesting modern twist.

Early feminist science fiction written as a short story in English by a Bengali woman. Essential reading for anyone interested in feminist utopias or science fiction from 1905. A fun read too as it was reputedly originally written by Rokeya Hossain to entertain her spouse.
