5/7/2023 0 Comments Herland charlotte perkins![]() The fact that Gilman chose to make her utopia vegetarian is interesting, to say the least. In Herland, there is no war, conflict, or domination. Well, Gilman covered that: the women reproduce reproduce via parthenogenesis, or asexual reproduction.Īccording to the author, this leads to an ideal society – a utopia. “But what about reproduction?” you might ask. That’s right: it’s been centuries since there have been men in Herland. In Herland, three men stumble upon a society made up exclusively of women – and this society has been this way for many, many years. This novel, published in Gilman’s magazine The Forerunner in 1915, does not shy away from subverting the male-dominated system. ![]() Herland is the second book in a series, but it can easily be read on its own. ![]()
