With Her in Ourland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
2.0
2.5
Nowhere near as good or engaging as [b:Herland|531509|Herland|Charlotte Perkins Gilman|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1403189138s/531509.jpg|83484]. At the end of Herland I was really looking forward to Ellador discovering our world and hearing her thoughts about it but, my oh my, was this boring. The actual storyline is kept to a bare minimum and feels more like a pretense to let loose a bunch of theories and criticisms about early 20th century society. Most of them time I did not feel knowledgable enough (about economy, sociology, history) to confirm or contradict her views. Because of this, I also wasn't always sure whether Ellador was criticizing racism or reproducing it. Some of her comments definitely made me uncomfortable.
