Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herland_(novel)
"Herland" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book presents a speculative narrative exploring a utopian society composed entirely of women, revealing themes about gender roles, societal structures, and the dynamics of civilization. The story follows the adventures of Vandyck Jennings, Terry O. Nicholson, and Jeff Margrave, three male explorers who discover this remarkable land, where men do not exist. The opening of "Herland" sets the stage for the exploration of an isolated female utopia, initiated by the three friends on a scientific expedition. While en route in an uncharted territory, they come across legends of a mysterious land inhabited solely by women and soon embark on a secret mission to find it, driven by curiosity and adventure. Their discussions reveal various perceptions of women, ranging from Terry's flirtatious ambitions to Jeff's romanticized view, culminating in their eventual discovery of a well-organized and civilized society, unlike anything else they have known. This initial encounter hints at deeper societal critiques and questions surrounding gender, power dynamics, and human relationships that will unfold as the narrative progresses.
