There is no competition, no struggle of trade. No kings, priests, no social organisation. They were sisters who grew together by united action (not by competition). 
They share a lot, they think in terms of community. They grow things together. They have no privacy, no sex, no real family, no private home 
They all work the land (agriculture) : lot of composting, the soil becomes valuable.

Nowadays in our society, certain women are raising their voice when it comes to motherhood, saying that they do not feel the need of it. And in the book, it seems that motherhood is displayed as a kind of nirvana. 

(Alice Debels) : I was really puzzled by the absence of sexual desire. Without men women could still have some. It is as if sex was useless because they could have babies without it, but sex is not only about procreation. All women should not need men to have sexual desire.
I was also not at ease with the fact that all women want to be mothers, as if it is our sole purpose in life. ]]> 2021-02-17 13:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1211067409 3 male voices/perspectives veroniquebragard https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1211068435 Victor Duqué
Jeff and Terry are presented as two extremes, while Vandyck is supposed to represent a more neutral view. As a reader I was tempted to follow his view, yet those are the views of the beginning of the 20th century. I therefore identified a lot more to the ideas of the women of Herland than to the ideas of the three men. Vandyck is easier to identify to because he is less extreme than the others but he comes from a society with - nowadays - outdated views on women and their role in society.]]> 2021-02-17 13:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1211068435 Herland: education, motherhood, relationships veroniquebragard https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1211070139 2021-02-17 13:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1211070139 Gilman's Herland: style and literary genre veroniquebragard https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1211076555 2021-02-17 13:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1211076555 Comfort, sisterhood, rituals veroniquebragard https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1214766776 2021-02-18 11:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1214766776 3 Male voices/ Perspectives Laureline https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215170397 - Jeff = open-minded, he comes to discover but not to impose, he completely loves the society the women of Herland have build, he is really critic about his own society 
He finds peace and joy in Herland: the culture, the livestyle and I find that really amazing and mature, however I hate the fact that he feels like his original society is awful compared to Herland. He comes from this society and is a good man which means that there is something good. 
-Terry = wants to conquest. He wants to possess women. He is very mysogine. I think that it is a shame that he did not learn anything from Herland. He leaves the country as thumb as he entered it. he stays stubborn, even if I hope that he grew up. 
-Vandyck: open-minded but still critic, he is the more relatable of the three men.

I don't like the idea that men are not needed to have children. 
I know it is the purpose of the story, but I feel it undermine men's role in the creation of children. 
Some men already feel so in our world and I don't like it. 
I like the idea that women are independent, but men also play an importnat role in creation of new humans :)  
(Is it a kind of "positive discrimination" ?)

- idea of a "pure" island, far from mischief and society horrors (it kinda made me think of colonialism; when the Europeans colonized America, they called it the "New World", as if the land was "pure" and that the people there could easily be controlled and possessed. As if they could start from scratch. I didn't read Herland tho loads of aspects we've mentionned already echo with Island, and the parallel with Wonder women - I admit I'm thinking more about the movie than the comics - is interesting). ]]> 2021-02-18 13:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215171942 Romane Sibille - motherhood sibilleromane https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215172291 Women control their fertility.

The women in Herland share everything and they don't seem to have this idea of "belongings" either.
As for the agricutlure, maybe I missed something but I think they only feed on nuts and fruits that they grow in the forests and gardens since they gave up cattles which were taking too much space in their limited land. Either way, I find it hard to believe that by just eating nuts and fruits, they manage to be full of strength and energy... (not saying that you're weak if you don't eat meat at all! I know there are other aliments that give enough energy but there were no mention of special aliments other than nuts and fruits in Herland... but maybe since they are used to that alimentation, their metabolism is stronger somehow) In the end, there wasn't a big focus on the varieties of food, but we know the women of Herland take good care of the forests and gardens.]]> 2021-02-18 13:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215172437 Motherhood (Barbara Louant) https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215172448 What interested me the most was how society adapted around the concept of motherhood. I agree with Oceane as, in today's society, many women express their desire not to be mothers. This, in a way, still insinuate that a women without children is incomplete. Having children do not defines a woman identity. ]]> 2021-02-18 13:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215172448 Problems and paradoxes in Herland (Réianne) https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215172835 I think one of the main problems with this kind of perfect society is that they rely on a very harmful eugenics system for breeding (i.e. people presenting weaker or "deviant" characteristics are not "kept"), which reminds me of social darwinism and even a sort of nazi rhetoric... I think that the idea of achieving a perfect society by eliminating weaker beings (even getting rid of animals, for instance) is actually harmful and dangerous.
And it is a bit paradoxical since Gilman also presents the women as educators as to illustrate the defaults of the society the men live in, but actually they are the ones seen "educating" the women of Herland who are intrigued by this world they don't know; yet their own civilisation is not really perfect because despite having achieved a system in which everyone is educated, taken care of, etc., they fail to keep in mind that not everyone is able, strong and so on.  ]]> 2021-02-18 13:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215172835 Océane Slegers - https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215173836 2021-02-18 13:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215173836 Nathan Hormidas https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215174095 Control of sexuality through the population regulation]]> 2021-02-18 13:37:48 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215174095 Emphasis on motherhood (Lise) https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215174451 Motherhood is really important to the women who live in Herland. It is close to a religion for them. Their whole word revolves around the children. At some point, there is some anti-abortion rhetoric in the book : "you surely do not destroy the unborn", says one of the women with "a look of ghastly horror". ]]> 2021-02-18 13:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215174451 Victor Duqué - relationships euqudrotciv https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215174555 The relation between the women seems a bit unrealistic to me.

The mothers take their roles very seriously and it is as if motherhood as a central theme could be perceived. The fact that they only have daughters strongly shows that they don't need men. 
I loved the fact that all children are ≠.

In the tradition, the father gives his last name to his children. However, since there are no fathers and that the community forms a sort of gigantic family, there is no need for last names. I see it as another rejection of fatherhood.

It is almost considered like a value. All women rely on education to expand their knowledge and, above all, to become strong educated independent women. So, the idea of independence is also very strong in Herland (even though the concept of solidarity is important too).]]> 2021-02-18 13:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215185756 Eléonore Hénaut - motherhood and education eleonorehenaut1 https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215186295 Women are defined by their motherhood. It looks like an achievement in their life. They are the one in control of their lives and sometimes some of them are not "suited" to become mother, kind of deviant in this society.

Education is also not for everybody. Some women do not have the ability to raise their child as good as some others who have been trained for that purpose.
Education is central in the book but it also looks like a constant quest for perfection. Children should receive the best education possible.  ]]> 2021-02-18 13:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215186295 Sexuality (Lise) https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215188493 The women in Herland are almost asexual, they don't have any sexual desires. They see sex as a duty necessary to reproduction, and not as a pleasure. They don't see the difference between the human sexuality and the sexuality of the animals around them. They have lived so long without sexuality (they have children with pathogenesis) that they don't understand it at all, which is frustrating for the three men whose point of view we share. Terry even tries to rape Alima at some point. The narrator, Van, considers this act "impolite" but doesn't see it as a crime because it's her husband after all (rape culture rhetoric!). ]]> 2021-02-18 13:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215188493 (Lola) 3 male characters https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215188844 Terry = embodiment of the patriarchy, the "bad sides" of men

This is shown for instance with the discussion that they have about Herland and the outside world. The men have to describe why things are the way they are in our world, to explain gender roles, and it often seems ridiculous because there are no valid reasons. And when the men think about it (except Terry), they also come to this conclusion. This is for instance what happened when Vandyck realised that masculinity and femininity weren’t natural but actually a cultural construct.

But the three men have defined characteristics and personalities while the women are more of a big ensemble who have similar traits. (Don't have time to develop so I'll explain further later - Reianne)]]> 2021-02-18 13:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215227074 Océane Slegers - Wonder woman: women need to be helped by a magical tool made by a goddess and men are strong by nature https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215227849 2021-02-18 13:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215227849 Sexism https://padlet.com/veroniquebragard/q186l79ethnd3rpp/wish/1215229033 The author is a woman and yet she writes so many sexist and mysogin comments on women in order to praise women ?

Critical utopia and sex

Actually I didn’t finish the book yet but from what I’ve already read, I feel like Gilman creates a dialogue between utopia and critical utopia. I really feel that in the dialogues, the way how men see things in relation of a patriarchal society : « this is a civilized country [...] there must be men »

In my opinion, sex or love can’t be eradicated, these are specific to the human being. There’s a passage about the reproduction and the fact that humans are mating animals. In that case, sex and love are no longer related. And I think that we can see a link with the fact that at some point women said : we are mother... I think there is social issue behind that...
