Herland

This story by Charlotte Gilman is an exploration of gender and gender roles. Enter the world of Herland, a world without men where women procreate asexually, removing the need for men entirely. Herland explores a society devoid of men and what it might be like, in terms of justice and social structure. When Herland receives unexpected guests in the form of three male explorers, readers experience, first-hand, the disruptive presence of males in this otherwise stable and peaceful society.
