4.0 out of 5 stars A nice little afternoon read...., Dec 13 2004
By George Armstrong - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 20th Century Herland The Yellow Wallpaper And Selected Writings (Mass Market Paperback)
A generally overlooked gem of a utopian novella that makes for a pleasant experience. The treatment is calmer and more down to earth than A Brave New World, and is more thoughtful and meditative than Looking Backward. Gilman's feminism celebrates motherhood above all, and embraces Christianity. In a time when we're reconsidering gender roles and marriage in society, Herland is particularly relevant and insightful.

Highly recommended for the fan of utopian literature and early feminist thought.

I bought this book for a class in college and enjoyed all of the readings we did for the class. If you are interested in fictional feminism writing then this is the book for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Read, Jan 18 2008
By Nicole "Nicole" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 20th Century Herland The Yellow Wallpaper And Selected Writings (Mass Market Paperback)
Herland is one of my favorite stories. If you enjoy feminist publications this is one to read. It sometimes makes me laugh and other times makes you really think about how American Society works.
