Description

Herland is a utopian novel written by feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

The book describes an isolated society composed entirely of women who reproduce via parthenogenesis.

The result is an ideal social order, free of war, conflict and domination.

The story is told from the perspective of Van Jennings, a student of sociology who, along with two friends, Terry O.

Nicholson and Jeff Margrave, forms an expedition party to explore an area of unchartered land where it is rumored lives a society consisting entirely of women.

The three friends do not really believe the rumors as they are unable to conceive of how human reproduction could occur without males.

The men speculate about what a society of women would be like, each guessing differently based on the stereotype of women which he holds most dear.
