{"product_id":"9781551119878","title":"Herland and Related Writings","description":"\u003cp\u003e Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s provocative utopian novel \u003cem\u003eHerland\u003c\/em\u003e, first published in 1915, tells its story through the observations of three male explorers who discover a land inhabited solely by women; the women reproduce through parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction). Initially skeptical, the explorers come to realize that Herland has evolved into an ideal, cooperative, matriarchal society—fertile, peaceful, and clean—by selectively reproducing the women’s best attributes. As the explorers study Herland culture, they also rethink their own. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition reproduces the text originally published in \u003cem\u003eThe Forerunner\u003c\/em\u003e in 1915, including several passages omitted from other editions. Stories, poetry, and nonfiction writing by Gilman on topics such as birth control, capital punishment, and eugenics provide a rich context for the novel.
