Herland

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (July 3, 1860 - August 17, 1935) was a prominent American sociologist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform. She was a utopian feminist during a time when her accomplishments were exceptional for women, and she served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story, &quote;The Yellow Wallpaper&quote;, which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis. Here we publish 'Herland' a seminal piece of fiction where a world completely run and controlled by women comes into contact with a small band of men.
