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.

Wonderfully sardonic and slyly humorous, the writings of landmark American feminist and socialist thinker Charlotte Perkins Gilman were penned in response to her frustrations with the gender-based double standard that prevailed in America as the twentieth century began. Perhaps best known for her chilling depiction of a woman's mental breakdown in her unforgettable 1892 short story 'The Yellow Wall-Paper', Gilman also wrote Herland, a wry novel that imagines a peaceful, progressive country from which men have been absent for 2,000 years. Both are included in this volume, along with a selection of Gilman's major short stories and her poems.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was America's leading feminist intellectual of the early twentieth century. The Yellow Wall-Paper and Other Stories makes available the fullest selection of her short fiction ever printed. In addition to her pioneering masterpiece, `The Yellow Wall-Paper' (1890), which draws on her own experience of depression and insanity, this edition features her Impress `story studies', works in the manner of writers such as James, Twain, and Kipling. These stories, together with other fiction from her neglected California period (1890-5), throw new light on Gilman as a practitioner of the art of fiction. In her Forerunner stories she repeatedly explores the situation of `the woman of fifty' and inspires reform by imagining workable solutions to a range of personal and social problems.

Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

It is stripped off - the paper - in great patches ... The colour is repellent ... In the places where it isn't faded and where the sun is just so - I can see a strange, provoking, formless sort of figure, that seems to skulk about ...' Based on the author's own experiences, 'The Yellow Wallpaper' is the chilling tale of a woman driven to the brink of insanity by the 'rest cure' prescribed after the birth of her child. Isolated in a crumbling colonial mansion, in a room with bars on the windows, the tortuous pattern of the yellow wallpaper winds its way into the recesses of her mind. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was America's leading feminist intellectual of the early twentieth century. In addition to her masterpiece 'The Yellow Wallpaper', this new edition includes a selection of her best short fiction and extracts from her autobiography.
Millaisia naiset olisivat, jos he eivät olisi eläneet patriarkaalisen kulttuurin orjina, vaan itsenäisinä ja luovina ihmisinä? Tätä kysyy Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) klassikoksi nousseessa maailman ensimmäisessä feministisessä utopiaromaanissa Herland (1915). Se kertoo tutkimusmatkailijoiden löytämästä naisten asuttamasta syrjäisestä maasta, josta miehet ovat kuolleet sukupuuttoon. Herland on ajallaan järkyttänyt ja uusia suuntia luodannut kertomus korkealle järjestyneestä yhteiskunnasta, joka elää luonnon kanssa harmoniassa. Se tekee 1900-luvun maailmasta kokonaisemman esitellessään naisten tukahdutettuja vahvuuksia ihmisinä. Suomentaja Ville-Juhani Sutinen on laatinut teokselle esipuheen ja suomentanut sen liitteeksi bengalilaisen feministin Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossainin (1880-1932) novelliklassikon Sulttaanittaren uni (1901).
