Returning Voices
Herland
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textThree men stumble into an isolated country populated entirely by women, who have built a stable, thriving civilisation with no men in it at all, and none of the disasters the explorers confidently predicted. Gilman used the premise mostly to interrogate, patiently and pointedly, every assumption the three visitors brought with them. It is utopian fiction with a very sharp, very polite edge.
