Amazing book, written by an amazing author. Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860 to 1935) wrote this novel in 1915, about a utopian all female society who emphasize on civility, freedom, education, and motherhood. The book is narrated by a young man who travels with two companions to this isolated âHerland.â Idealist that I am, I love the idea of no violence, wars, hunger, homelessness, or class structure. Don't skip the fascinating Introduction!

Very interesting tale about a fantasy land of just women. Charlotte Perkins Gilman's books are quite thought-provoking.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote this novel with a wry smile, and a witty voice to tell women one version of what they can be. It's fantasy, science fiction and a vision of Utopia.
