"One the eve of WWI, three American male explorers stumble onto an all-female society somewhere in the distant reaches of the earth. Unable to believe their eyes, they promptly set out to find some men, convinced that since this is a civilized country--there must be men. So begins this sparkling utopian novel, a romp through a whole world "masculine" and "feminine", as on target today as when it was written 65 years ago."—Publisher // Contents: A not unnatural enterprise -- Rash advances -- A peculiar imprisonment -- Our venture -- A unique history -- Comparisons are odious -- Our growing modesty -- The girls of Herland -- Our relations and theirs -- Their religions and our marriages -- Our difficulties -- Expelled. ¶ Women -- Fiction.
