About this audiobook
The story is told from the perspective of Vandyck "Van" Jennings, a student of sociology who, along with two friends (Terry O. Nicholson and Jeff Margrave), forms an expedition party to explore an area of uncharted land where it is rumored lives a society consisting entirely of women. The three friends do not entirely believe the rumors because they are unable to think of a way how human reproduction could occur without males. The men speculate about what a society of women would be like, each guessing differently based on the stereotype of women which he holds most dear: Jeff regarding women as things to be served and protected; Terry viewing them as things to be conquered and won.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5WONDERFUL
After over a century from when this book was written, sadly, so much of the patriarchy depicted by these three men is still true and valid.
Aside from the impossibility of travel, herland sounds like a great place to live.
