I just started reading the book called Herland. I found an online textbook of the novel, which has been a help to me so far. It’s an electronic textbook. The plot of the novel involves three male explorers Terry Nicholson, Jeff Margrace, and the sociologist Vandyck Jennings and their discovery of a female utopia. This novel was written to express the author, Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s, feminist views and beliefs. Two thousand years ago, a foreign army exterminated the men of Herland. The women rebelled and found a way to asexually reproduce. I have researched that Gilman is an accomplished writer and a sharp social analyst and theorist. In this book, Gilman tells of a group of three adventurers who set out to find this county of women after hearing rumors about it. So far, I’m enjoying this novel. It is very different from the usual types of books I read.
