O ovoj e-knjizi

Herland is a utopian novel from 1915, written by feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The book describes an isolated society composed entirely of women, who reproduce via parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction). The result is an ideal social order: free of war, conflict, and domination.

O autoru

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was a pioneering American feminist, sociologist, and writer whose work left an indelible mark on the landscape of social reform and women's rights. Born into a family with a rich literary heritage, Gilman was a niece of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Despite facing economic hardship and a tumultuous childhood, she emerged as a formidable intellectual force.Gilman's most famous work, "The Yellow Wallpaper," is a semi-autobiographical short story that critiques the medical and societal treatment of women, particularly the oppressive "rest cure" prescribed for mental illness. This story remains a cornerstone in feminist literature, resonating with readers for its raw portrayal of a woman's descent into madness under patriarchal constraints.A controversial figure, Gilman advocated for radical ideas that were ahead of her time, including economic independence for women, communal living, and the professionalization of domestic work. Her 1898 book, "Women and Economics," argued that women's economic dependence on men stifled their potential and hindered societal progress. This work influenced contemporary thinkers and laid the groundwork for future feminist movements.Gilman's personal life was as unconventional as her ideas. She divorced her first husband, a rare and scandalous move in the late 19th century, and later married her cousin, Houghton Gilman. Her life and work continue to inspire and challenge modern readers, offering a compelling vision of gender equality and social reform.
