Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s 1915 novel Herland depicts an isolated society composed entirely of women, who reproduce without men. The novel presents this community as a utopian alternative to societies shaped by war, conflict, and domination.

First published in monthly installments in Gilman’s magazine The Forerunner, Herland is the middle volume of her utopian trilogy, following Moving the Mountain and preceding With Her in Ourland. It was not published in book form until 1979.
