For every author from a marginalized community whose work has remained in print over the decades, others have been forgotten.
Charlotte Perkins Gillman is one of these writers. In 2014, editor Barbara H. Solomon released an anthology of Perkins Gillman’s work, entitled Herland and Selected Stories. Starting with Herland, Solomon also includes other short stories that for the most part, have not been included in the canon of classic works by a female author.
I am not shocked that modern readers need to be introduced to the author. Like other women writers before her, she uses fiction to point out discrimination and sexism that was and still is prevalent.
Do I recommend it? Yes.
Herland and Selected Stories is available wherever books are sold.
