Den rike playboyen Terry, läkaren Jeff och sociologen Vandyck får höra talas om ett land som befolkas endast av kvinnor. De ger sig ut på jakt efter detta land och lyckas snart bli tillfångatagna av kvinnorna. En högt utvecklad civilisation, fri från brottslighet, krig och fattigdom är det sista de har väntat sig att hitta, och ju mer de får veta om Kvinnoland, desto svårare får de att förklara - både för kvinnorna och sig själva - varför deras egen värld ser ut som den gör. Det största mysteriet är att Kvinnoland verkligen är helt fritt från män, men att det ändå springer omkring barn överallt …Charlotte Perkins Gilman, känd för ”Den gula tapeten”, gav ut denna utopi 1915. Den var långt före sin tid då det begav sig, och i flera avseenden - men inte alla - står den sig än i dag. Översatt av Emilia FjeldFörord av Ebba Witt-Brattström

A definitive edition of the groundbreaking feminist fiction of a nineteenth century pioneer Best known for her gothic short story "The Yellow Wallpaper," Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a pioneering feminist writer, the author of the utopian novels Herland and With Her in Ourland, about a newly-discovered country in which there have been no men for 2000 years. Both novels are gathered here along with approximately forty of her best stories: "The Yellow Wallpaper," presented in both the published and the almost unknown original manuscript version, which contains a different ending, "The Giant Wistaria" and "The Rocking-Chair," and many others. Also included is an extensive selection of Gilman's poems, many written in support of suffrage and other reforms.

A lost-world fantasy in the tradition of Arthur Conan Doyle and the Utopianism of William Morris, Herland inverted expectations with its exclusively female society visited by three men from the Edwardian era. An early example of feminist science fiction, this utopian fantasy explores miracle births, role reversals and concepts of peace and freedom. Flame Tree 451 presents a new series, The Foundations of Feminist Fiction. The early 1900s saw a quiet revolution in literature previously dominated by male adventure heroes. Both men and women moved beyond the norms of the male gaze to write from a different gender perspective, sometimes with female protagonists, but also expressing the universal freedom to write on any subject whatsoever. Each book features a brand new biography and a glossary of literary terms.

First published in 1982, 'The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories' is regarded as a groundbreaking feminist masterwork and one of the most magnificent horror stories in American literature, written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, an American humanist, novelist, writer, lecturer, advocate for social reform, and eugenicist. It portrays a critical reflection of nineteenth-century mindsets toward women's physical and mental health. Written as a compilation of journal entries by a woman whose physician husband has restricted her to her bedroom, the story represents the narrator's collapse into psychosis as her imprisonment slowly worsens her mind. This collection also includes the stories 'The Giant Wistaria', 'According to Solomon', 'The Boys and the Butter', 'Her Housekeeper', 'Martha's Mother', 'A Middle-Sized Artist', 'An Offender', 'When I Was a Witch', 'The Cottagette', 'Making a Living', and 'Mr. Robert Grey Sr.' It is not only an American literary classic, but it also delivers an understanding of America's social history.
