Perkins Gilman, "Herland" depicts the journey of three men after they stumble upon a society where only women live. The men are forced to confront their biases and prejudice when challenged by the utopian nature of this society, where there is no crime, no grime, and no malice. The women defy every expectation the men have by their grace, strength, and physicality. A groundbreaking utopian novel, "Herland" prompts the reader to ponder whether conceived gender norms are nothing more than figments of prejudice, and whether such a utopia can be built by men... or by anyone else.
