Ombra sultana es una novela de la escritora argelina Assia Djebar, publicada en 2002. La historia explora las vidas de dos mujeres, Hajila e Isma, en un contexto de matrimonio y sociedad tradicional. A través de sus experiencias, Djebar examina temas de identidad femenina, opresión y la búsqueda de la libertad en un mundo dominado por hombres. La novela está escrita en catalán y ofrece una mirada profunda a las complejidades de las relaciones y la condición de la mujer en la cultura árabe.

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.
