Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 3,0, University of Salzburg, language: English, abstract: The goal of this paper is to demonstrate Charlotte Gilman’s personal view on feminism, and her realisation of feminism in the utopian novel "Herland". This feminist utopian novel is one of the last texts that belong to the early- twentieth- century wave of feminism. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a feminist and a Progressive Era public intellectual whose concern were the struggles of the women of her time. She questioned the hierarchical structures and the division of power, labor, and discourse. Her desire was to create a world in which men and women are equally autonomous selves and live together as humans. Here, she stressed that women needed attention as their economic, social, and cultural retardation hindered human progress. Her writings are significant reminders of the patriarchal world in which women were suppressed by the power of men. Gilman believed that marriage and the arrangement of the nuclear family as well as domesticity were the main reasons for women’s oppression. According to her, women were seen only as a sexed group that was subordinated by men. Not only did she search for the roots of this subordination, but also focused on education with the goal of creating a humane and nurturing environment. Basically, she wanted to achieve changes regarding marriage, home, the education of children, and women’s work.

If I could have brought with me the material I so carefully prepared, this would be a very different story. Whole books full of notes, carefully copied records, firsthand descriptions, and the pictures—that’s the worst loss. We had some bird’s-eyes of the cities and parks; a lot of lovely views of streets, of buildings, outside and in, and some of those gorgeous gardens, and, most important of all, of the women themselves.

Nicholson and Jeff Margrave), forms an expedition party to explore an area of uncharted land where it is rumored lives a society consisting entirely of women. The three friends do not entirely believe the rumors because they are unable to think of a way how human reproduction could occur without males. The men speculate about what a society of women would be like, each guessing differently based on the stereotype of women which he holds most dear: Jeff regarding women as things to be served and protected; Terry viewing them as things to be conquered and won.[1] When the explorers reach their destination, they proceed with caution, hiding the biplane they arrive in, and trying to keep themselves hidden in the forests that border the land. They are quickly found by three young women who they realize are observing them from the treetops. After attempting to catch the girls with trickery, the men end up chasing the young women towards a town or village. The women outrun them easily and disappear among the houses, which, Van notes are exceptionally well made and attractive. After meeting the first inhabitants of this new land (which Van names Herland) the men proceed more cautiously, noting that the girls they met were strong, agile, and completely unafraid. Their caution is warranted because as the men enter the town where the girls disappeared, they become surrounded by a large group of women who march them towards an official looking building. The three men attempt an escape but are swiftly and easily overpowered by the large group of women and eventually anesthetized. The men awake to find themselves held captive in a fortress-like building. They are given comfortable living accommodations, clean clothes, and food. The women assign each man a tutor who teaches the men their language. Van makes many notes about the new country and people, commenting that everything from their clothing to their furniture seems to be made with the twin ideals of pragmatism and aesthetics given equal consideration. The women themselves appear intelligent and astute, unafraid and patient, with a notable lack of temper and seemingly limitless understanding for their captives. The women are keen to learn about the world outside and question the men eagerly about all manner of things. Often Van finds himself having difficulty justifying the practices of his own society such as the milking of cows, and the keeping of property, when faced with the apparent utopia the women have managed to build.... Charlotte Perkins Gilman ( also Charlotte Perkins Stetson (July 3, 1860 - August 17, 1935), was a prominent American feminist, sociologist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform. She was a utopian feminist and served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis......

This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,8, University of Bonn, language: English, abstract: This paper examines how Gilman contrasts her imagined utopia with reality, and thereby creates a reversal of gender hierarchies. It elaborates primarily on the topics of education, labour distribution and motherhood – which will be consecutively investigated with regard to their utopian representation in Gilman's "Herland", as well as the author's theoretical work regarding each subject. The reformist mindset that followed the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the US-economy during the turn of the 20th century led to a re-emergence of utopian literature (Bartkowski 7). Following the success of Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward 2000-1887 (1888), utopian novels gained in importance and popularity as a medium for discussing issues resulting from the radical changes occurring at the time. Not only did they reflect the country's prevalent dissatisfaction with deficient political, economic and social conditions, but they also provided a platform for writers to explore alternative structures beyond the limits of reality. For feminist writers, the utopia enabled them to envision emancipation from patriarchal structures and challenge prevailing gender hierarchies. Charlotte Perkins Gilman is ranked among the most influential voices of the feminist reform movement of the Fin de Siècle, and is best known for her utopian novel "Herland" (1915). She herein thematizes the issue of gender inequality through an isolated and thriving all-female society and pictures the possibilities that would arise for women without the limitations of patriarchy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s progressive views on feminism and mental health are powerfully showcased in her two most famous stories. The Yellow Wallpaper skillfully charts one woman's struggle with depression whilst Herland is an entertaining imagining of an all female utopia. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by journalist and author Lucy Mangan. Confined to her attic bedroom and isolated from her newborn baby, the nameless narrator of The Yellow Wallpaper keeps a secret diary in which she records the sprawling and shifting patterns of the room’s lurid yellow wallpaper as she slowly sinks into madness. This chilling story is based on the author’s own experience of depression. In Herland, a trio of men set out to discover an all-female community rumoured to be hidden deep in the jungle. What they find surprises them all; they’re captured by women who, for two thousand years, have lived in a peaceful and prosperous utopia without men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s provocative utopian novel Herland, first published in 1915, tells its story through the observations of three male explorers who discover a land inhabited solely by women; the women reproduce through parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction). Initially skeptical, the explorers come to realize that Herland has evolved into an ideal, cooperative, matriarchal society—fertile, peaceful, and clean—by selectively reproducing the women’s best attributes. As the explorers study Herland culture, they also rethink their own. This edition reproduces the text originally published in The Forerunner in 1915, including several passages omitted from other editions. Stories, poetry, and nonfiction writing by Gilman on topics such as birth control, capital punishment, and eugenics provide a rich context for the novel. Materials originally published alongside Herland in 1915, many of which have never before been republished, are also included, as is an excerpt from the sequel, With Her in Ourland.
