Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

adventurous dark informative reflective medium-paced
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

The points made with this book, especially as they reflect the treatment of women at the time of its writing, but also as it relates to today's gender inequalities, were very interesting and thought provoking. There are triggers in this book, half of which I could forgive because they aren't things the author supports/advocates for. They are flaws of the main characters' world views. However, I was unable to forgive the author's blatant racism and it is for that reason I rated it lower than I otherwise would have.
