Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860 -1935) was a prominent American novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and an advocate for social reform. Herland is a utopian novel from 1915 which describes an isolated society of women who reproduce through asexual reproduction. The narrator is Vandyck "Van" Jennings, a sociology student who, along with two friends, explore an area of uncharted land. The three male visitors arrive, and in due time get married to three of the women, with various sets of consequences. The major themes of Herland are motherhood, community, and the definition of gender. Eugenics and egalitarianism are important subjects in the narrative.
Public Domain (P)2020 Museum AudiobooksHowever fluent in English (I teach English in my country), I had to slow the speed to x0.8 in order to be able to enjoy the novel fully.
I was confused by the female voice and understood only several chapters into the book that the actual narrator was male !
Some characters sound very odd : Terry, whom the actress plays with a loud voice, and then the inhabitants of Herland, who sound utterly naive, which may be partly wanted, and partly due to my slowing down of the speed.
I enjoyed it very much all in all !
