Sequel to Herland. Published serially in the author's monthly magazine, Forerunner, volume 7 (1916). Herland described an all-women utopia in a secluded high valley, where 3 adventurous young men visit by airplane. Eventually, 2 of the 3 are expelled, along with a young Herland woman who has married one of the men. With Her in Ourland continues as the husband and wife tour the world outside of Herland, interviewing people, taking notes and photographs, and discussing history, religions, war, child-rearing, the role of women, treatment of immigrants, women's suffrage, and more.

Interesting follow up to Herland. Reading a book actually written in 1915 gives fascinating insight into the ideas and behaviors of the time. I have read books written more recently but set in that era, but reading a book by someone actually living at that time gives a very different perspective. The author's condemnation of certain norms and acceptance of others was interesting to explore. I enjoyed going there with her, but sometimes one has to slog thru some extended tedium in order to get to the resolution. There are a lot of debates between the heroine and her husband about a woman's place and expected behaviors. Many that are still relevant to today. The writing style definitely is different and requires some patience to adjust to, but it's not too hard to do so.Product details

With Her in Ourland Gilman Charlotte Perkins edibooks Books Reviews
Interesting sequel, too many typos.
The book is a fabulous follow up to Herland. She was a feminist way before her time.
The text itself is littered with nonsensical punctuation and letters left off words or in the wrong order.
Makes me curious if a print edition would be as messed up.
Now, as much as then, women have a long way to go before they finally crack the 'male' ceiling. I enjoyed this work, but given attention to detail (although required in order to make sense), it was a long read and however creditable her theories, a great deal of it got lost in the background of the relationship between the two protagonists.
This was one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time. The feminist ideals were so well described and defined with such gentle passion that I gave up marking all the sections to reread and ponder further and simply turned back to the first page to read it a second time.
