Herland

What would the world be like without any men? Best known for chronicling one woman's descent into madness in "The Yellow Wallpaper," feminist author Charlotte Perkins Gilman writes a tale of a utopian society that answers that very question. Van Jennings, a sociology student, and his two friends, Terry Nicholson and Jeff Margrave, discover Herland, a peaceful civilization that values education and virtue above all else--but is populated entirely by women. The three friends struggle to shed their own views of gender roles and embrace the principles of Herland's perfected society.
