Herland is a adventurous book that looks at what an all female utopia could look like. Written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the story is about three explorers that crash land in a community where women have created a utopia without any men. The book questions feminism, the structure of society and the concept of gender itself. The book paves the way to feminist discussions explored in titles such as The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood, and by trailblazers like Judith Butler.

DELLAS es un país en el que no hay hombres ni los ha habido por espacio de dos mil años. Sin la experiencia del noviazgo ni esperanzas de un amor romántico, las mujeres del país son distintas del resto de las mujeres del mundo ¡y a ese pais sin hombres llegan tres intrepidos exploradores! DELLAS es una muy elaborada utopia de amazonas, de supermujeres que conocen sus propias fuerzas y no tienen ninguna dependencia psicologica ni economica respecto a los hombres: su medio casi perfecto es el resultado de una cuidadosa planificacion y control de la poblacion. Publicado en 1915 y luego caido en el olvido debido a la prematura muerte de su autora, es ahora reconocido como una de las obras basicas que impulsaron la lucha de la mujer en busca de su lugar en el mundo.

The Yellow Wallpaper Charlotte Perkins Gilman - The Yellow Wallpaper is regarded as an important early work of American feminist literature, illustrating attitudes in the nineteenth century toward womens physical and mental health. The story also has been classified as Gothic fiction and horror fiction. The story is written as a collection of first person journal entries written by a woman whose physician husband has confined her to the upstairs bedroom of a house that he has rented for the summer. She is forbidden from working, and has to hide her journal entries from him, so that she can recuperate from what he calls a "temporary nervous depression-a slight hysterical tendency," a diagnosis common to women in that period. Her husband controls her access to the rest of the house. In the end, she imagines that there are women creeping around behind the patterns of the wallpaper, and comes to believe that she is one of them. She locks herself in the room, now the only place where she feels safe, refusing to leave when the summer rental is up.

In the utopian society of Ourland, women hold all positions of power and influence. Men, relegated to domestic duties, are content with their subservient role. But when a group of dissatisfied men plot to overthrow the matriarchy, the delicate balance of Ourland is threatened.Enter Van, a young woman who has always questioned the status quo. As she uncovers the truth behind the mens rebellion, she must confront her own beliefs and decide where her loyalties lie. With Her in Ourland is a thought-provoking and timely exploration of gender roles, power dynamics, and the nature of utopia.

In 1892 a furious Charlotte Perkins Gilman put pen to paper and created the avant-garde feminist work The Yellow Wallpaper as a warning in this haunting Gothic tale, a woman is confined to a room and forbidden to do anything interesting and she loses her mind. In 1887, following a severe nervous breakdown, Gilman had been sent to a leading neurologist, she explains in Why I Wrote The Yellow Wallpaper, also included in this volume. He was a wise man who put me to bed and applied the rest cure and sent me home with solemn advice to "live as domestic a life as far as possible" and "never to touch pen, brush or pencil again" as long as I lived. I went home and obeyed those directions for some three months, and came so near the borderline of utter mental ruin that I could see over. The Yellow Wallpaper is both a haunting illustration of the treatment of mental health and a chilling Gothic tale, and this new edition makes it ready to enchant another generation of readers.
