Herland is a utopian novel from 1915, written by feminist writer 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. Herland first appeared as a serial in Perkins Gilman's monthly magazine The Forerunner, a magazine edited and written by Perkins between 1909 and 1916.[1] Herland is the middle volume in a utopian trilogy; it was preceded by Moving the Mountain (1911), and followed with a sequel, With Her in Ourland (1916). Herland was not published in book form until 1979.
