Sequel to Herland. 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. The two novels together convey the author's social criticisms of our world at her time and her prescriptions to improve the human condition in the United States.

With Her in Ourland, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman From Library Journal Despite its lack of plot, forced dialog, and flat characters, this is a significant book. A sequel to Gilman's feminist classic, Herland (1916), this continues yet radically changes that book's utopian vision. Ellador leaves Herland with her new husband, Vandyck Jennings, one of the three men who discovered the world populated entirely by women. After a tour of Europe and Asia, they return to "his" land, the United States. More sociological tract than novel, the book analyzes social, economic, and political problems, discussing overpopulation, gender roles, environmentalism, the care of children, and racism?issues that are surprisingly relevant today. The final pages of the book provide an unexpected twist that completes the reader's understanding of Gilman's overall purpose. Recommended for academic libraries.?Yvette Weller Olson, City Univ.

Review "Gilman's sequel to Herland continues to advance her social theories. However, With Her in Ourland (first published in 1916) is a dystopian work; it chronicles the experiences of characters Van and Ellador, following their departure from Herland as they travel the world during the Great War. As she does in much of her fiction, Gilman urges radical social reform as a way to save the world from chaos and destruction.... Deegan provides a cogent argument for reading Herland and With Her in Ourland as two halves of a greater whole.... Reommended for all public and academic collections."-Choice..."a splendid book, a delight to have now available. Mary Jo Deegan's introduction is filled with useful insights and information....Deegan's angle of vision is sociological, and that makes her reading of this story different from most Gilman scholarship."-Theories and Epistemology"He's a brash American adventurer; she's an independent, albeit sheltered, sociologist from Herland, a 2000-year-old, all-female society. Not surprisingly, when Vandyck (Van) and Ellador marry, most everything becomes a point of negotiation, if not contention: sexual relations, family obligations and attitudes about race, class, and the welfare state....the book is a window into the second decade of the 20th century...many of Gilman's observations are prescient and astute."-Publishers Weekly""[T]his is a significant book.

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.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Impressive and highly readable By Lenore 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.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The logical and objective evaluations given by the main character sum up culture in a very surprising result. By Jane Pappone 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.
