| Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is an adventure story with feminist overtones. Three men go into the jungle to investigate the native people, where they come upon a tribe with a tale of a city totally made up of women. They find a beautiful city, with lush forests and beautiful creatures. After spending the night out in the forest, they meet three girls. They try to get more information out of the three girls, but they do not speak the same language.
A group of women come out to the forest and capture the three men. They take them back into the city. The women teach them the languages and customs of their city. | ||
