Cathi Colas Audiobooks and High Horse Press Presents Episode 9 of HERLAND by Charlotte Perkins-Gilman
from Cathi Colas Audiobooks and High Horse Press Presents · host Cathi Colas
Today, HERLAND explores social relationships, love, and sexuality—and how fundamentally different Herland's values are from the outside (patriarchal) world the men come from.This book was written in 1915, when women were largely viewed as domestic non-beings whose primary roles were marriage and motherhood. Yet Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote courageously about a world made better because women were in charge. It amazes me that 111 years later, we still haven’t fully caught up to her vision.https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911430/episodes/19181592I hope you have been enjoying these episodes as much as I enjoy bringing them to you.
