Gilman, Charlotte Perkins: Herland, v1.2, 20 Sept 2007.
Herland
by Charlotte Perkins Stetson Gilman [1915] A feminist Utopia. Three men blunder into a society of women. From Sacred-texts.com’s notes: Gilman's feminist novel, ‘Herland’ was one of a flood of utopian books at the turn of the 20th century where sex roles are inverted. Gilman imagined a society where women not only rule, but are the only gender. Reproducing by parthenogenesis, they worship a female deity. This particular book later became a must-read for the second-wave feminists, particularly the 'separatist' wing.

A fun read, and very clean etext; only noted these errors:

Thank you for the corrections, Anais9000. They have been included in the newly updated version.
Please would some kind moderator retitle this thread as v1.2 ? Also the parallel thread in the mobi uploads section. Thanks. |
