Product Description

From Library Journal

Despite its lack of plot, forced dialog, and flat characters, this is a significant book. A sequel to Gilman's feminist classic, Herland (1916), this continues yet radically changes that book's utopian vision. Ellador leaves Herland with her new husband, Vandyck Jennings, one of the three men who discovered the world populated entirely by women. After a tour of Europe and Asia, they return to "his" land, the United States. More sociological tract than novel, the book analyzes social, economic, and political problems, discussing overpopulation, gender roles, environmentalism, the care of children, and racism?issues that are surprisingly relevant today. The final pages of the book provide an unexpected twist that completes the reader's understanding of Gilman's overall purpose. Recommended for academic libraries.?Yvette Weller Olson, City Univ.

Review

.,."a splendid book, a delight to have now available. Mary Jo Deegan's introduction is filled with useful insights and information....Deegan's angle of vision is sociological, and that makes her reading of this story different from most Gilman scholarship."-Theories and Epistemology
