A realistic visionary returned to us

In Herland, Charlotte Perkins Gilman gives us humans (mere mortals) a glimpse of a world where all things are possible, where ideas of black and white and shades of grey have been turned into colors and textures, vibrant and pulsing with promise. If one can get past the Victorian style, which is hardly worth mentioning since she was a funny writer and writes with a spoken voice which was unusual for her time, the reader will discover new dimensions of purpose for all people, not only women, and have a good laugh at the same time.
