Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Herland is a utopian novel written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman in 1915. The book tells the story of three American male explorers who stumble upon a hidden society of women in a remote, isolated land. The women of Herland have created a perfect society that is free of war, crime, poverty, and disease. They have advanced technology, a strong communal spirit, and a deep respect for nature.The explorers, who are initially skeptical of the women's claims of a peaceful society, soon realize that they have stumbled upon a unique civilization that challenges their traditional views of gender roles, relationships, and power dynamics. As they spend more time in Herland, they learn about the women's history, culture, and way of life.The novel explores themes of gender, feminism, sexuality, and the role of women in society. It challenges traditional notions of masculinity and femininity and presents a vision of a society that is based on equality, cooperation, and mutual respect. The book also critiques the patriarchal society of the early 20th century and advocates for women's rights and empowerment.Overall, Herland is a thought-provoking and visionary work of feminist literature that continues to inspire readers today.What I'm trying to show here is that with these women the whole relationship of life counted in a glad, eager growing-up to join the ranks of workers in the line best loved; a deep, tender reverence for one's own mother--too deep for them to speak of freely--and beyond that, the whole, free, wide range of sisterhood, the splendid service of the country, and friendships.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
