Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
My rating: 3/5 cats
i feel like, as a lady, i should have liked this more. i thought it was okay; i liked some of the gentle satire poked at recontextualizing the things we take for granted about our society, which is supposed to make us laugh and blush. but i think i would go mad here. it’s a little too wide-eyed stepford wives-y for me. and in a land without men, who would i get to boss around? i just don’t think this has aged well, overall, and i’m not sure why i was under the impression that it was some seminal work that i had to read during my summer of overlooked classics.
