Publisher's Synopsis
Herland is a utopian novel by American feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The book describes an isolated society composed entirely of women, who bear children without men. The result is an ideal social order: free of war, conflict, and domination. It was first published in monthly installments as a serial in 1915 in The Forerunner, a magazine edited and written by Gilman, with its sequel, With Her in Ourland, beginning immediately thereafter. The book is often considered to be the middle volume in her utopian trilogy, preceded by Moving the Mountain.
