A landmark of feminist science fictionThree students of sociology journey into an uncharted region of South America to put to rest the rumors that an all-female civilization lives there. Impossible, they tell themselves: How would such a society reproduce? And even if they magically overcame that obstacle, women certainly could not survive in the middle of the jungle without men to protect them and tell them what to do.Not only does an all-female village exist, it is one of the most advanced civilizations on record. The women are strong and kind, pragmatic and creative, wise and happy. They have two thousand years’ worth of remarkable history. As the three explorers learn how Herland came to be, they start to question everything they thought they knew about “the fairer sex.”With its groundbreaking blend of science fiction and feminism, Herland paved the way for authors such as Margaret Atwood and Octavia E. Butler.This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham It has been quite a few years since I read this novel, but I thought it was absolutely terrific and I remember it vividly. The story opens when the main character Philip is a lonely young boy with a club foot being raised by his aunt and uncle. As soon as he...

A neglected work by the author of 'The Yellow Wallpaper'. Opinions here are split on 'Herland', recognizing it as a seminal (uh) work of feminist thought at the start of the 20th century, and yet ultimately limited in its vision of female freedom. Too, as an adventurer's tale of Utopia, its awfully ...

Fun, classic (1915) prediction of what an all-women world would look like. I especially liked the varied reactions of the three guys who drop in on this hidden land in the mountains where women have lived on their own for millennia. Luckily for the women, they've figured out how to spontaneously con...
