In Herland, Charlotte Perkins Gilman imagines a hidden utopia untouched by men for over two thousand years—an all-female society flourishing in peace, cooperation, and innovation. When three curious male explorers—Vandyck Jennings, Terry Nicholson, and Jeff Margrave—stumble upon this mysterious land, their expectations are upended by a civilization that thrives without war, dominance, or patriarchy.

Through the eyes of sociologist Van, listeners are invited into a land where motherhood is revered, cooperation triumphs over competition, and progress is built on logic, compassion, and education. As the men struggle to reconcile their expectations with reality, Herland challenges assumptions about gender, culture, and what it means to be civilized. With sharp wit and revolutionary insight, Charlotte Perkins-Gilman dismantles patriarchal norms and imagines a world transformed by equality and reason.

On the eve of the First World War, sociology student Vandyck Jennings goes on an expedition with two of his friends to search for a society rumored to consist only of women. On the way to what they will name “Herland,” Van and his friends ponder the type of women they hope or expect to see when they get there … but they find no fantasies when they arrive. Herland is an all-female, community-driven utopia. Van and his friends are skeptical of a society that doesn’t even need men to procreate, but women and girls who live there have been raised in a world removed the patriarchy of the world.
