Herland
by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
“Three men are about to discover that a world without them isn't just possible—it's perfect.”
Three arrogant explorers believe they've found an easy conquest when they stumble upon a hidden civilization populated entirely by women. They quickly realize that without men, this society hasn't just survived—it has built a sophisticated, peaceful utopia that challenges everything they know about humanity.
