Herland
(Author) Charlotte Perkins GilmanThree male explorers stumble on a community of women living deep in the Amazon rainforest, in a society without class divisions, war, greed, lust or hatred. This is a material world that encompasses science and technology on one hand, and the beauty and simplicity of a pastoral life on the other. It is also a world that places human social values centre-stage.
