Sombra sultana es una novela de la escritora argelina Assia Djebar, publicada en 1987. La historia entrelaza las vidas de dos mujeres, Hayila e Isma, quienes comparten al mismo hombre, explorando temas de libertad, identidad y las complejidades de las relaciones en un contexto cultural específico. La autora recrea temas centrales de su novelística: la libertad de ver y ser vista, de desvelar el cuerpo, de moverse por el espacio considerado masculino, de hablar de tú a tú con el hombre, compañero imposible, de amar y la infancia, rememoración de un pasado casi mítico en el que bucear para hallar las raíces del desasosiego presente.
Fatima-Zohra Imalayen, known by her pen name Assia Djebar, was an Algerian novelist, translator and filmmaker. Most of her works deal with obstacles faced by women, and she is noted for her feminist stance. She is "frequently associated with women's writing movements, her novels are clearly focused on the creation of a genealogy of Algerian women, and her political stance is virulently anti-patriarchal as much as it is anti-colonial." Djebar is considered to be one of North Africa's pre-eminent and most influential writers. She was elected to the Académie Française on 16 June 2005, the first writer from the Maghreb to achieve such recognition. For the entire body of her work she was awarded the 1996 Neustadt International Prize for Literature. She was often named as a contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature.
