Herland (Dover Thrift Editions) by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Read Online and Download Herland (Dover Thrift Editions) by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. A prominent turn-of-the-century social critic and lecturer, Charlotte Perkins Gilman is perhaps best known for her short story "The Yellow Wallpaper," a chilling study of a woman's descent into insanity, and Women and Economics, a classic of feminist theory that analyzes the destructive effects of women's economic reliance on men.In Herland, a vision of a feminist utopia, Gilman employs humor to engaging effect in a story about three male explorers who stumble upon an all-female society isolated somewhere in South America. Noting the advanced state of the civilization they've encountered, the visitors set out to find some males, assuming that since the country is so civilized, "there must be men." A delightful fantasy, the story enables Gilman to articulate her then-unconventional views of male-female roles and capabilities, motherhood, individuality, privacy, the sense of community, sexuality, and many other topics.Decades ahead of her time in evolving a humanistic, feminist perspective, Gilman has been rediscovered and warmly embraced by contemporary feminists. An articulate voice for both women and men oppressed by the social order of the day, she adeptly made her points with a wittiness often missing from polemical writings. This inexpensive edition of Herland will charm readers with the tale's mischievous, ironic outlook.

Herland (Dover Thrift Editions) by Charlotte Perkins Gilman Review

Hard on the heels of finishing the course on utopias and dystopias, I decided to tackle Herland, a book I'd been intending to read for decades. To my delight it wasn't nearly as earnest and didactic as I would have expected a feminist utopia of the early 20th to be. Rather it was gently humorous and even-handed, suggesting that it is not so much a utopian vision, but a suggestion that in the relations between the sexes we can do a whole lot better without going to extremes.The story has a classic utopian structure of outsiders "discovering" a previously unknown country where everyone lives in peace and prosperity. Three men, who represent specific types, hear about this land of women and resolve to find it. There's the narrator, Van, who is a social scientist, and who approaches women as equals, Southern gentleman, Jeff, who puts women on pedestals, and the "man's man" (read jerk) Terry, whose increasing anger and frustration at not being able to "master" these women leads to an intolerable act of violence.Gilman's utopian vision is classic also in the sense that the country is far from perfect, and that much of the second half of the book is taken up with the romance between Van, and Ellador, one of the women of Herland, suggests that in the end, utopia is finding someone who completes you, challenges you, supports you, and who is as interested in you and your world as you are in theirs.

This novella was written in 1915 about a female utopian society. Three male explorers go searching for this fabled place which they don’t believe exists, especially since these women reproduce without men. All the babies are female. What they find is a beautiful land of peace with no crime or disease. The women have continually improved their society over thousands of years. The three men react differently. The narrator is open and interested, one is in awe, and one believes he must “master” them as it goes against nature for women to live without men. The women are as eager to learn about the outside world as the men are to learn about theirs. However, the more the women learn of a world with disease, war, crime, and poverty, the less they want to join it. All three men find partners, but their expectations are quite different and, when one of the men chooses to leave, it creates a dilemma for the women. They must protect the secrecy of their location and can’t risk being betrayed. Though this story was written over a hundred years ago, its insights still ring true.

As the fantasy storyline was before its time when released, this novel is an interesting take on the convergence of a utopian female society with regular alpha society that hasn't changed enough yet, as laid out plainly here. It's not for everyone, and it definitely has one overriding political view espousing the nature of motherhood as savior, but it is well written, well read, and entertaining.Written so long ago, it's most interesting feature is the author's focus on sex and sexual politics still at work in its various forms today. It emerges as an interesting snapshot of how little we have grown as a society, though it has an entertaining way of getting there.

“But they look – why, this is a civilized country!” I protested. “There must be men.”Written in 1915 – and only published as a book in 1979 – Herland tells the tale of three men who find a secret country in South America populated only by women, who reproduce asexually. This setting quickly becomes a parable that shows how our understanding of social roles are biased by sex, and how much of what we understand as “feminine charms” are actually reflected masculinity. It is an Utopian look of how a man-less world is, a place of perfect sisterhood with no wars, priests, a big family with no competition, but united by action.I had fears as I started to read that the message would be heavy-handed, for I prefer books that make me ask questions rather than try and feed me questions, but my fears were unfounded. Herland is a very funny book, specially because of the naive perspective of the three male students Jennings, Nicholson and Margrave. At first they think they found the Holly Grail, after all they are MEN!, physically stronger and the only only roosters in the hen house. What could these women do?Well, quite a lot, actually. The herlanders are very organized and can easily overwhelm them with numbers. Also, their manly charms are no use in trying to sway women who are completely uninterested in sex. “When a man has nothing to give a woman, is dependent wholly on his personal attraction, his courtship is under limitations.”An Utopia book with a great comment on how our idea of gender is created by society.

Of course one has to have a moment of suspension of belief to accept the concept of their motherhood in a society without men, but what a great work on how men view women, their supposed adoration for the 'weaker' sex, yet at the same time, their disgust for the very ideal of women they created. Would a society of only women evolve into a near perfect civilization which strives together for the benefit of the whole, that evolve so they think in terms of 'we' instead of 'I'? A national identity so intuned, so benevolent that every thought of every person was the advancement of every generation to reach a higher 'goodness'. The creation of a perfect culture which has conquered almost every problem faced by modern society, would a community of women separated from any contact with men be able to create that...interesting concept and fascinating reading when put in a fictional story of three men, one a macho blockhead, another a soft idealist and finally the anthropologist who stands as the man in the middle. How would these three very different men survive in such an accomplished society? Great story. Word of warning, there is an abrupt ending, leading of course into a sequel, so prepare oneself for that. Also, it is helpful to remember this was written by a woman who died in the 1930s. Society was indeed different then than now, but surprisingly not as much as one would think.
