Herland

Book • 2020
Written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman in 1915, 'Herland' is a utopian novel that explores an isolated society of women who reproduce through parthenogenesis.

The story is narrated by Vandyck 'Van' Jennings, a student of sociology, who along with his friends Terry O. Nicholson and Jeff Margrave, discovers this society.

The novel highlights themes of community, feminism, and the importance of social cooperation.

It was first published in serial form in 'The Forerunner' magazine and later as a book in 1979.

'Herland' is part of Gilman's utopian trilogy, preceded by 'Moving the Mountain' and followed by 'With Her in Ourland'.

The book critiques patriarchal societies and presents a vision of a society where women have economic freedom and equal rights.
