If you order the book through our storefront on BookShop.org, show us your receipt, and you'll get 10% of that purchase back in store credit to spend at TCB! (But no pressure - libraries are also time-honored partners to book clubs. We love our libraries!)

ABOUT THE BOOK: Herland is a utopian novel from 1915, written by feminist 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.
