"Dreams" is a collection of short stories by Olive Schreiner. The stories explore the inner lives and struggles of women in Victorian-era South Africa, grappling with issues of identity, love, and societal expectations. The collection includes several poignant and thought-provoking stories, which follows a young woman who defies social conventions to pursue her passion for botany, and "In a Far-Off World," which explores the complex relationship between a white woman and her mixed-race daughter. Other stories delve into the realm of dreams and the subconscious, including "The Lost Joy," which follows a woman on a journey of self-discovery through her dreams, and "The Artist's Secret," which explores the hidden desires and fears of an aspiring artist. Throughout the collection, Schreiner employs a powerful and evocative prose style to capture the innermost thoughts and emotions of her characters, illuminating the struggles and triumphs of women in a patriarchal society. "Dreams" remains a landmark work of feminist literature and a testament to Schreiner's skill as a storyteller and social commentator.

Autorenporträt
Olive Schreiner was a South African writer, intellectual, and outspoken anti-war campaigner, best known for her novel The Story of an African Farm, which has received widespread acclaim for its progressive themes and exploration of gender and social issues. Born on March 24, 1855, in the Cape Colony (now part of South Africa), Schreiner was the daughter of a missionary family and grew up in a colonial environment that influenced much of her later work. Throughout her life, she was a fierce advocate for women's rights, social justice, and anti-imperialism. In addition to her literary contributions, Schreiner was deeply involved in political and social causes, particularly related to gender equality and the rights of women to participate fully in public and economic life. She married Samuel C. Cronwright-Schreiner in 1894, and they remained together until her death on December 11, 1920, in Cape Town. Schreiner's influence extended beyond her native South Africa, as her works, particularly her essays and novels, challenged Victorian norms and continue to resonate in discussions about gender, labor, and social change. Her brother, William Schreiner, was a notable political figure, and her nephew, Oliver Schreiner, carried on her intellectual legacy.
