Book excerpt: Unlock the more straightforward side of Herland with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, which tells the story of an imagined society of women who live entirely apart from men and reproduce asexually. Their country (the Herland of the title) is harmonious and highly developed, with a strong sense of community and widespread happiness, which shocks the three men who have taken it upon themselves to visit it. This clash of cultures reveals a series of unexamined prejudices around gender and results in drastic changes in the lives of everyone involved. Charlotte Perkins Gilman is perhaps best-known for her short story “The Yellow Wallpaper”; feminist critics’ interest in this text spurred a critical appraisal of the rest of her work, including Herland and its sequel With Her in Ourland.

Book excerpt: Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a satirical utopian novel about a world in which women wield absolute power, demonstrating their own personal and cultural identities without fear of reprieve. The three main characters who feature throughout the novel include Terry Nicholson, a misogynist explorer; Jeff Margrave, a doctor who idolizes women and puts them on a pedestal, and Vandyck Jennings, a sociologist whose views on women may not be more accurate than his counterparts, but at the very least are firmly rooted in scientific study. The three men represent clearly different male perspectives on women. While Jeff idealizes women as feminine and proper, Terry is more concerned with their physical appearance than their comportment. Vandyck's point of view is vastly different still, as he perceives women as objects of study.After introducing the three men, the narrative follows the explorers as they endeavor to find the oft-rumored female utopia, a land that is said to be entirely inhabited by women. It is also said that no man has ever returned from this place. With their curiosity piqued, the three men hire a native guide to lead them to this mythical place, which Terry calls "Herland."Upon arriving, the explorers are greeted by young Ellador, Celis, and Alima. When the men attempt to catch them, they are surprised to discover that the women's quick, easy strides surpass their own. After their first encounter with the native women of this place, the men describe them as living in trees, nervous and averse to capture. Nevertheless, the men's curiosity about the creatures has been piqued, and they venture into the center of town to see what other evidence they can uncover.Not long after their arrival, the elders of the settlement become aware of their presence. The elders welcome them into the community but are also tentative about the presence of men within their female utopia. They treat the men as their prisoners, but in a very comfortable way, and let them know which areas of the utopia are available to them and which are off-limits. The men are skeptical that this society is run entirely by women, convinced that surely a place of such beauty and efficiency must be the result of the male mind.While the men are imprisoned, they are assigned tutors that teach them the national language, culture, and history. The prisoners are also instructed about the behavior expected of them as guests of Herland. They learn that Herland was once a slaveholding civilization inhabited by both men and women. Constant warfare with the native populations in the region resulted in the death of almost all the men. When the few remaining slaveholders and all the older women were killed by male slaves who intended to control the fortressed country and its young female inhabitants, the women were forced to defend themselves, vanquishing their conquerors. After that, no man has existed in Herland for two thousand years.However, Jeff, Terry, and Vandyck are not satisfied with the information provided to them by their hospitable captors, and so they venture out on their own to do more investigating. They soon learn that they are among an ancient culture of women who have built a life for themselves that does not include men. The women have lived successfully for centuries without male influence; this discovery acts as an awakening for Jeff, Terry, and Vandyck.To their amazement, the women have built infrastructure and their own governmental system. They have given birth to and raised children as a community and have many accomplishments in both the arts and sciences. The women possess the miraculous ability to self-fertilize, enabling them to have female children, which becomes the central religion of their society.Vandyck and Jeff apply themselves, eager to learn as much as they can about this fascinating place. With their newly discovered knowledge, they adapt to their surroundings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Her in Ourland: Sequel to Herland is a feminist novel and sociological commentary written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The novel is a follow-up and sequel to Herland (1915), and picks up immediately following the events of Herland, with Terry, Van, and Ellador traveling from Herland to "Ourland" (the contemporary 1915-16 world). The majority of the novel follows Van and Ellador's travels throughout the world, and particularly the United States, with Van curating their explorations through the then-modern world, while Ellador offers her commentary and "prescriptions" from a Herlander's perspective, discussing topics such as the First World War, foot binding, education, politics, economics, race relations, and gender relations.Like Herland, With Her in Ourland was originally published as a serial novel in Gilman's self-published magazine, The Forerunner in monthly installments starting in January of 1916 (the final chapter of Herland was published in December of 1915). Despite the fact that Herland and With Her in Ourland were both published serially and without interruption, With Her in Ourland was not re-published in a stand-alone book form until 1997, eighteen years after the re-publication of Herland. Though the majority of the novel takes place within the contemporary 1915-1916 world, due to its connection to Herland, it is often considered as part of a "Utopian Trilogy," along with Moving the Mountain (1911) and Herland, though Gilman herself never indicated a "trilogy" structure.
