About this listen

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860 -1935) was a prominent American novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and an advocate for social reform. Herland is a utopian novel from 1915 which describes an isolated society of women who reproduce through asexual reproduction. The narrator is Vandyck "Van" Jennings, a sociology student who, along with two friends, explore an area of uncharted land. The three male visitors arrive, and in due time get married to three of the women, with various sets of consequences. The major themes of Herland are motherhood, community, and the definition of gender. Eugenics and egalitarianism are important subjects in the narrative.

A prescient, witty reflection about gender roles, human qualities, and what we take for societal norms, presented in a light satirical manner.
It made me think, and also prompted me to want to learn more about the fascinating author, as I found it remarkable that this was published in 1915. Worthwhile read!
