A review by jem_ko
Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

3.0

Interesting theories on maternity, lineage, collective consciousness, education and all sorts of topics that are not as often focussed on in male-written utopian novels - the pacing is a bit odd at times and never picks up despite the constant impression that it may however this might be a clever trick to evoke the same feelings of desire for climax that the men in this novel feel. Definitely worth a read if you enjoy atypical utopian fiction and/or feminist theory.
