Expecting weakness, disorder, sentimentality, or sexual rivalry, they instead find a highly organised, peaceful, rational, and self-sustaining society that exposes the poverty of their assumptions about gender, power, motherhood, education, and civilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong unavailable as a standalone book before its late twentieth-century recovery, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHerland\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e now stands as one of Gilman's essential works, alongside \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Yellow Wallpaper\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWomen and Economics\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Project Gutenberg describes the book as a 1915 feminist utopian novel about an isolated all-female society, which supports that as the cleanest catalogue positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 28, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50345950019821,"sku":"9781617202070","price":17.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/B_c3fDURJW9781617202070.webp?v=1785215525","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-gb\/products\/herland-a-feminist-utopian-novel-of-women-society-and-civilization-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
