    About this ebook

    With Her in Ourland is the third book in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's utopian trilogy which begins where Moving the Mountain and Herland left off. Gilman masterfully compares our real modern male dominated world with an imaginary perfect society comprised of only woman. Gilman was a well known and deeply respected sociologist and this trilogy holds an important place in feminist fiction.

    • 4/5
      The edition which I read had a long introduction (over 50 pages out of a book of 200 pages) by Mary Jo Deegan, and was edited by Deegan and Michael R. Hill. However, there were no notes within the text itself. I was interested in reading the novel by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and did not pay much attention to the introduction.With Her in Ourland is a sequel to Gilman’s novel, Herland, in which three American men visit an imaginary place inhabited only by women and girls. Van (Vandyke Jennings) marries Ellador, one of the women there, and in this book brings her to Ourland, the world as we know it. There is very little plot. The book is primarily a discussion between Van and Ellador about the social conditions on earth, particularly in the United States. This discussion tends to get tedious; sometimes it even includes statistics. Although the text was originally published serially in 1916 during World War One and before American women had the right to vote, many of the conditions explored in the book are still problems today. These include the inequality of women to men, the unequal distribution of wealth with some very powerful rich people and many people so poor that they cannot live in healthfully, the misuse of natural resources, and war. During their time in Ourland Van and Ellador live more more in a brother/sister relationship than as a married couple.
    • 2/5
      Herland was interesting as a sociological utopian novel. This sequel, however, strips out the utopian part as the narrator and his Herland-native wife travel the globe before coming back to America. Unfortunately, the story and plot are all but non-existent as Ellador sees more and more of the world outside her perfect society, and the book becomes a mouthpiece for Gilman's critiques of American society, economics, race relations, and gender roles. While never moving fully into manifesto territory, With Her in Ourland is still preachy and vaguely condescending.
