Herland

內容簡介

Delightfully humorous account of a feminist utopia in which 3 male explorers stumble upon an all-female society isolated in a distant part of the earth. Early 20th-century vehicle for Gilman's then-unconventional views of male-female behavior, motherhood, individuality, sense of community, sexuality, and other topics. Mischievous, ironic approach used to telling effect.
一九一五年出版的《她鄉》是一個女性烏托邦的諷刺寓言。故事藉由三名男性科學家代表社會既成的偏見，透過他們在她鄉的遭遇，來檢討傳統社會以男性為主體的價值觀，同時提出女人為“人”的信念，並全面討論人類社會存在的各種議題，舉凡社會結構、經濟、教育、宗教、生育，甚至環保，都有前衛進步的看法。
