Ladyland's feminist utopia emerges as a direct result of accessible female education; when the Queen passes an order that all women should be educated, women are able to receive a proper scientific education and begin to turn their attention towards innovation. After the order is passed, universities for women are built, where women like the Lady Principal who invents the sun-heat harnessing machine and the Lady Principal who creates the water balloon are able to fully rise to their intellectual potential. The story's emphasis on education reflects Rokeya's own devotion to female education and empowerment.
