Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 'Herland Trilogy' is widely recognized as a classic of early feminist literature. It recounts the utopian advances made in 'Herland' - a parthenogenetic all-female society isolated from the rest of humanity for 2000 years - and the disruption caused by the arrival of three male American adventurers. 'With Her in Ourland' is the third and final instalment of the saga, and has Herlander Ellador, now married (platonically) to Vandyck Jennings, leaving her home and engaging in a tour of 'Ourland' - the rest of the world. Ellador's calm, logical responses to the problems of war, poverty, misogyny, racial prejudice and a host of other worldly evils, allow Gilman to continue her satirical, dystopian critique of the so-called civilized world, with husband Vandyck's complacent acceptance of worldly injustice acting as the perfect foil to Ellador/Gilman's prescriptions for setting the place to rights. The result is a tour de force of Charlotte Gilman's wit and political perception, making for an astute and distinctly prescient account of both our past, and present-day, problems.
