Description

Herland author Charlotte Perkins Gilman's captivating masterpiece takes readers to a hidden utopia where gender roles have been redefined, a secret society where women reign supreme. In this Feminist Utopian novel, Gilman's compelling narrative is told from the perspective of Van Jennings, a sociology student who forms an expedition party. He travels with two friends, Terry and Jeff, to explore an area of uncharted land. These fearless adventurers travel to a land rumored to be home to a society consisting only of women. They enter a world beyond imagination, an isolated land untouched by the influence of men. Within this harmonious civilization, where community is essential to the all-female society, bonds of sisterhood unite its inhabitants. The society is built on cooperation, respect, and intellectual prowess. It is a land where education is paramount. War, greed, and inequality do not exist. Women bear children without men and every individual is valued for their unique contributions. The women maintain their individuality while working with others within the community to reach a consensus. The three explorers grapple with their ingrained beliefs and preconceived notions of their own male dominated society. In this poignant social critique of the early 20th century, readers are immersed in a vision of what society could be when limitations are not imposed on women. Gilman's vivid storytelling stimulates the imagination and leaves an indelible mark on the reader's mind. Her eloquence and insight captivating and will leave you with a renewed sense of hope and possibility.
