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!
