Send us Fan MailIn this penultimate chapter, the cultural and personal conflicts between the men and Herland society come to a head—especially in the relationships they've tried to form. When the three male explorers marry, they attempt to force their wives into traditional, submissive roles. This ends in disaster: one husband is banished, and the others must drastically reconsider their marital expectations.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cathi-colas-audiobooks-and-high-horse-press-presents/id1605464447I hope you have been enjoying these episodes as much as I enjoy bringing them to you. Reviews and shares make a huge difference.

Send us Fan MailToday, HERLAND explores social relationships, love, and sexuality—and how fundamentally different Herland's values are from the outside (patriarchal) world the men come from.This book was written in 1915, when women were largely viewed as domestic non-beings whose primary roles were marriage and motherhood. Yet Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote courageously about a world made better because women were in charge. It amazes me that 111 years later, we still haven't fully caught up to her vision.https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911430/episodes/19181592I hope you have been enjoying these episodes as much as I enjoy bringing them to you. Reviews and shares make a huge difference.

Omsorg och moderlighet värderas högt när vi tänker på barn, men hur är det med samhället? Eva-Lotta Hultén hittar radikal potential i skönlitteraturen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Under ett krig för länge sedan dödades alla män och när det bergiga området strax därpå skars av från omvärlden av ett jordskred lämnades kvinnorna att ensamma bygga upp nationen igen. Som genom ett mirakel uppstod en mutation hos en av dem, som gjorde att hon kunde föröka sig utan inblandning av någon man. Från henne härstammar nu landets hela befolkning, som uteslutande består av kvinnor förmögna till självbefruktning.Tre unga, amerikanska män får höra talas om det avskilda riket och lyckas ta sig dit med flygplan. Ett för utopigenren typiskt upplägg som ger författaren Charlotte Perkins Gilman chans att i skönlitterär dräkt presentera ett idealsamhälle: ett land där kultur och samhällsstruktur helt skiljer sig från det vi tar för givet.Boken ”Kvinnoland” skrevs 1915 och hör, som många av dåtidens utopiskildringar, hemma i den socialistiska traditionen med sin betoning på gemenskap, solidaritet och jämlikhet. Men den anknyter också till den mindre omfattande feministiska utopitraditionen, och det som gör den verkligt originell är hur den lyfter fram moderskapet som något heligt. Kvinnan ska inte frigöras genom att slippa ta hand om sina barn – och inte heller genom att slippa allt samhällsansvar – utan genom att omsorgen om barnen lyfts fram som samhällets högsta uppgift. Bokens berättarjag Van noterar skillnaden mot hur föräldrarollen gestaltar sig i dåtidens USA. I hans hemland bryr sig varje mor mest bara om sitt eget barn men i det rike han nu hamnat är alla invånare engagerade i alla barn och jobbar tillsammans för deras väl.Perkins Gilman tycks både anknyta till och polemisera mot Ellen Keys idéer om moderlighet. De var samtida med varandra och framhåller båda hur viktigt värnandet om barnet är, för dess egen skull och för att forma ett gott samhälle. Men Key var särartsfeminist. Rösträtt åt alla kvinnor, javisst, men bara barnfria kvinnor eller de vars barn vuxit upp skulle ställa sina speciella kvinnliga krafter till samhällets förfogande. Andra har kallat dessa ståndpunkter för ”samhällsmoderlighet”.Var finns samhällsmoderligheten idag, när unga kvinnor drömmer om att bli hemmafruar och ”momfluencers” som lever på reklamintäkter för att blotta sig själva och sina familjer för alla som vill titta? Det går sannerligen att ha synpunkter på vad det gör med relationen mellan förälder och barn, och hur exponeringen påverkar de små. Men ta bort kameran ur ekvationen så har företeelsen likheter med det Ellen Key förespråkade för kvinnor som hade yngre barn: ett engagemang helt vigt åt familjelivet. I den tidskrift som Charlotte Perkins Gilman drev och själv skrev alla texter till, kommenterar hon Keys ”Barnets århundrade” i följande ordalag:Kvinnor förändras som människor: de är inte längre bara en sak – kvinnor, mödrar och ingenting annat […], de är också personer av vitt skilda slag, med intressen och förmågor som gör dem lämpade för att delta i samhället på många sätt.”Hennes egen samhällsmoderlighet var radikal. Hon visade fram kvinnor som fullt kapabla att ta ledarroller, driva och utveckla ett samhälle och klara såväl intellektuella uppgifter som hårt kroppsarbete, även som mödrar. Det var en moderlighet som lika gärna kan utövas av män: ett sätt att förhålla sig till vad som är verkligt viktigt.När jag själv var höggravid med mitt första barn fick jag från flera kvinnor höra att jag skulle komma att gå in i en bebisbubbla. Världen därutanför skulle bli mindre viktig. Jag protesterade: omvärlden hade blivit viktigare för mig när jag blev gravid och jag trodde inte att det skulle förändras av att barnet föddes.Både de andra kvinnorna och jag själv fick rätt. Jag blev mer påverkad av alla nyheter som kunde innebära fara för mitt eget och alla andras barn. Men jag fick lägre förmåga att delta i världen under ett antal år. Bubblan var inget jag valde utan en effekt av bristande tid och energi. Det var heller inte bara min egen ork jag fick kämpa med. Starka kommersiella krafter vill få oss att tro att ett gott föräldraskap i första hand är en prylsport som kräver stora inkomster. Det individualistiska idealet säger oss samtidigt att vår främsta plikt är att lägga mycket tid på att våra barn ska bli framgångsrika: ekonomiskt, musikaliskt, idrottsligt. Mina ambitioner fanns emellertid kvar. Jag ville påverka världen och jag ville att mina barn skulle se mig påverka världen – för att förstå att det går och att man bör.Medan barnen i de tre unga männens USA växer upp i relativt slutna familjer där man gör allt för att avskärma dem från en omvärld som ses som farlig, lärs barnen i Kvinnoland redan från början att vara delaktiga och att ta ansvar för samhället. Läraren Somel förklarar att de under sin utbildning lär sig att älska intellektuella utmaningar, vilket förvirrar berättarjaget Van. Vad gör lärandet för nytta om eleverna tycker om att lära? Det blir tydligt att han fostrats i ett inlärningssystem där lydnad och underkastelse är viktiga mål i sig för skolan. Det ska helt enkelt vara tråkigt att lära. I det avskilda landet bland bergen är målet utöver kunskap i stället självständighet, solidaritet och gemenskap och både kropp och intellekt ska stimuleras. Man eftersträvar visdom och en handlingsförmåga som brukas för det gemensamma bästa.”Kvinnoland” kan ses som en stridsskrift för omsorgens centrala roll för ett gott liv. Att ge omsorg betraktas som samhällets viktigaste uppgift och ett privilegium som också ger en stark livstillfredsställelse. Detta är ett exempel på det som filosofen Kate Soper kallar ”alternativ hedonism”: ett begrepp för nya vägar till självförverkligande och lycka. Den alternativa hedonismen handlar om ett skifte bort från destruktiv överkonsumtion och statusjakt, till en strävan efter tillräcklighet och en tillfredsställelse som kan uppnås inom planetens gränser.Jag minns mitt ändlösa vankande runt i huset med en kolikbebis i sele på magen och en frustrerad treåring i hasorna. På samma gång utmattad och färdig att explodera – av frustration och av kärlek. Jag kände mig söndertrasad av den smärta mitt minsta barn upplevde och den längtan som jag inte förmådde svara mot hos mitt äldre barn.Det finns ingen självklar samhällslösning på sådana dilemman. Inte heller något personligt förhållningssätt som på ett enkelt sätt kan ta udden av det känslomässiga kaos det innebär att vara förälder. Det är helt enkelt ofta svårt att njuta av privilegiet att få ge omsorg. Charlotte Perkins Gilman drabbades själv av förlossningsdepression och lämnade senare sin enda dotter hos sin exman och hans nya hustru. Men jag undrar vad som skulle kunna hända om vi lät moderlighet bli den ledande politiska princip som vi inrättade samhället som helhet efter. Eller om vi började se den mänskliga tillväxt som omsorgen syftar till som ens hälften så viktig som den ekonomiska tillväxt som vi ständigt curlar och daltar med.Eva-Lotta Hulténjournalist och författareLitteraturCharlotte Perkins Gilman: Kvinnoland.

His debut novel 'Northern Monkeys' is a gritty story of working class lads in Bradford. At the heart of the story is The Ointment - a football firm built on pride and reputation. But behind the match day classes are deeper struggles; addiction, poverty, broken homes, love, revenge, and the fight to stay above water. Rupa Mahadevan is an acclaimed author of psychological thrillers. Her debut novel won the Joffe Books prize in 2024. She grew up in India, and has lived in Scotland for over 15 years. Her debut novel 'Nine Dolls' is set in a remote manor house in Scotland.

The Arrival of the Fittest: Biology's Imaginary Futures, 1900–1935 by Jim Endersby In the early twentieth century, varied audiences took biology out of the hands of specialists and transformed it into mass culture, transforming our understanding of heredity in the process.In the early twentieth century communities made creative use of the new theories of heredity in circulation at the time, including the now largely forgotten mutation theory of Hugo de Vries. Science fiction writers, socialists, feminists, and utopians are among those who seized on the amazing possibilities of rapid and potentially controllable evolution. De Vries's highly respected scientific theory only briefly captured the attention of the scientific community, but its many fans appropriated it for their own wildly imaginative ends. Writers from H.G. Wells and Edith Wharton to Charlotte Perkins Gilman, J.B.S. Haldane, and Aldous Huxley created a new kind of imaginary future, which Jim Endersby calls the biotopia. It took the ambiguous possibilities of biology—utopian and dystopian—and reimagined them in ways that still influence the public's understanding of the life sciences. The Arrival of the Fittest recovers the fascinating, long-forgotten origins of ideas that have informed works of fiction from Brave New World to the X-Men movies, all while reflecting on the lessons—positive and negative—that this period might offer us. Jim Endersby is professor of the history of science at the University of Sussex.

In today's conversation Bremond Berry MacDougall and Lisa Endo Cooper, the duo behind Quite Literally Books talk about their heritage press republishing forgotten works by women authors. Lisa and Bremond share their journey of starting a heritage press without prior business experience. They describe the steep learning curve of navigating production, marketing, and sales.  The physical design of their books reflects meticulous attention to detail. They use premium Munken paper milled in Europe, custom typography by designer Louise Fili, and lay-flat dispersion binding that allows one-handed reading without breaking the spine. Some book covers feature work by artist Anthony Russo.  Their literary mission centers on republishing works that reveal how little has changed in over a century regarding issues of gender, race, and sexuality. They navigate the complex legacies of authors, acknowledging that women can be both progressive and flawed. Their first three releases explored the theme of home. The November release includes Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a cookbook from the 1890s, and all examining themes of home and domestic power.

Welcome to the Fast and the Fictitious, a podcast created by high school students as part of the dual enrollment Fiction course. In this episode, Allie, Piper, and Jasmine talk about "The Yellow Wallpaper," by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The ladies talk about topics ranging from postpartum depression and women's rights as they talk about the odd and sinister "treatment" the woman in the story receives after birth of her child. We hope you enjoy.

Welcome to Episode 241! Some highlights of this episode include a discussion of our third quarter readalong, THE UPSTAIRS HOUSE by Julia Fine, and its companion read, Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 1892 short story, THE YELLOW WALLPAPER. Thanks to the readers who joined us for the Zoom conversation and helped deepen our appreciation of both stories. We also discussed “The Monkey's Paw” by W.W.Jacobs from THE PENGUIN BOOK OF GHOST STORIES from Elizabeth Gaskell to Ambrose Bierce, and learned that it has not only been adapted to film, but there's been a play and an opera inspired by this short, tense, and creepy tale. Some other things we've read include WORKING by Robert Caro, UNTIL ALISON by Kate Russo, WRECK by Catherine Newman, and FONSECA by Jessica Francis Kane. In Biblio Adventures, we recap jaunts to exciting places in SIX STATES: Connecticut, of course, and also New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Tennessee, and Alabama. We got around the past two weeks! Stops included the NYPL, The Drama Book Shop, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, RJ Julia Booksellers, the Piper City Public Library, Parnassus Books, and Huntsville's historic districts. Have you heard that NYC is getting its first Horror Bookstore? The Twisted Spine in Brooklyn is celebrating its grand opening in early September. Happy Listening and Happy Reading! https://www.bookcougars.com/blog-1/2025/episode241

El relato, alabado por el mismísimo H. P. Lovecraft, relata la historia de una mujer que debe vivir encerrada en su habitación, sufriendo una tediosa enfermedad. Poco a poco una extraña y grotesca forma en el tapiz de su cuarto comienza a perturbarla, hasta que...

Welcome to Episode 237 where we DO NOT talk about the scheduled ghost story, “Thrawn Janet” by Robert Louis Stevenson due to human error. We'll discuss it on the next episode along with “The Open Door” by Margaret Oliphant. Now, on to what we DID discuss.

What we've just read: THE SHINING by Stephen King, MEMORIAL DAYS by Geraldine Brooks, and SO FAR GONE by Jess Walter. There are Biblio Adventures: Chris talked about attending the very first Bloomsday celebration at the Guilford Free Library and watching the 1980 film adaptation of The Shining. Emily shares her stop at the Montclair Public Library in New Jersey on the way to Princeton, and recaps the excitement of attending the 2025 Aspen Food & Wine Classic and fan-girling over Nancy Silverton whose book, THE COOKIE THAT CHANGED MY LIFE, is a longtime favorite. We had a wonderful discussion at our monthly Reading Salon with Patreon supporters about short books (the flip side of last month's big books). As always we wrapped with upcoming jaunts and reads, and a reminder about our third quarter readalong in our year of reading Ghost Stories – THE UPSTAIRS HOUSE by Julia Fine with a companion read of “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

Published in 1892, this story is considered one of the great early works of writing, especially in regards to horror, that discusses the mental strains women faced in the late 19th century. It will also speak to anyone who suffers from feeling alone. The walls closing in. Isolation that strains your sanity. And, of course, a common horror trope...the color yellow.Narrated by Russell ArcheyMusic by Lucas King

Welcome to Episode 236, where we are both back at Book Cougars HQ and happy to be sitting across the table from one another again. We did some Biblio Adventuring since the last episode! Emily joined the Pride celebration in Middletown, CT which kicked off with Drag Storytime at Wesleyan RJ Julia Bookstore. She also had a lovely visit to Big Red Books in Nyack, NY. Chris was back in the Midwest where she visited the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum, and Boyhood Home in Abilene, Kansas before heading to Red Cloud, Nebraska for the 70th Annual Willa Cather Spring Conference. We managed to read a few books between/during our adventures (love those audiobooks on road trips!): FINDING GRACE by Loretta Rothschild (release date 7/8/2025) THE PROFESSOR'S HOUSE by Willa Cather THE BOOKSTORE FAMILY by Alice Hoffman 
STILL WRITING by Dani Shapiro THE EMPEROR OF GLADNESS by Ocean Vuong THE GOOD HOUSE by Tananarive Due, our second quarter readalong pick Thanks to the sponsors of this episode: Deb Miller, author of FORGET THE FAIRY TALE AND FIND YOUR HAPPINESS, and Jen Michalski, author of ALL THIS CAN BE TRUE. Continuing our year of reading Ghost Stories, we are excited to announce the third quarter readalong pick. Because we chose a shorter novel this time, we decided to include the story that inspired it as a companion read for Q3: “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The novel that is the official pick is another one with the word “House” in the title. You'll have to listen to find out or peek at the show notes. As always, thank you so much for listening and we wish you lots of Happy Reading! https://www.bookcougars.com/blog-1/2025/episode236

One-Act Play Collections - Book 6, Part 2 Title: One-Act Play Collections - Volume 6 Overview: This collection includes ten one-act plays by David Belasco, Arnold Bennett, Hereward Carrington, Lewis Carroll, Lord Dunsany, John Galsworthy, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Maurice Maeterlinck, Anna Bird Stewart, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The Book Coordinators for this collection were Charlotte Duckett, Michele Eaton, Elizabeth Klett, Loveday, Piotr Nater, Algy Pug, Eden Rea-Hedrick, Todd, and Chuck Williamson. A one-act play is a play that has only one act and is distinct from plays that occur over several acts. One-act plays may consist of one or more scenes. The 20-40 minute play has emerged as a popular subgenre of the one-act play, especially in writing competitions. One-act plays make up the overwhelming majority of Fringe Festival shows including at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The origin of the one-act play may be traced to the very beginning of recorded Western drama: in ancient Greece, Cyclops, a satyr play by Euripides, is an early example. The satyr play was a farcical short work that came after a trilogy of multi-act serious drama plays. A few notable examples of one-act plays emerged before the 19th century including various versions of the Everyman play and works by Moliere and Calderon. One act plays became more common in the 19th century and is now a standard part of repertory theatre and fringe festivals.

This episode was originally published on May 5th, 2018. Remembering the grocery list, coordinating with the babysitter, making food for the potluck, scheduling a get-together with the in-laws: These are some of the invisible tasks that (most) women exclusively do in their romantic relationships — and the list goes on and on. Like a modern-day Greek chorus, women from across the country wrote in to the Dear Sugars inbox echoing identical inequalities in their relationships with their husbands and boyfriends. The Sugars commiserate with this aggrieved chorus along with Gemma Hartley, the writer who set off a national conversation about emotional labor with her viral article in Harper's Bazaar, “Women Aren't Nags — We're Just Fed Up.” Broaching the subject of emotional labor with a romantic partner can be tricky, especially if he feels as if he's being blamed for the imbalance of labor. The imbalance in Ms. Hartley's marriage began righting itself when she and her husband shifted their perspective: “This is not a problem with you and it's not a problem with me. It's a cultural problem. We have to unlearn a lot of things together in order to move forward." The Sugars Recommend “I Stand Here Ironing,” by Tillie Olsen “The Yellow Wallpaper,” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Geralmente o termo Eco-Horror refere-se a narrativas que exploram as consequências desastrosas da exploração e da destruição do meio ambiente, muitas vezes apresentando a natureza como uma força vingativa ou como um agente de justiça.  O gênero se alimenta do medo do desconhecido e das consequências irreversíveis das ações humanas, como a poluição, a deflorestação e a extinção de espécies. Filmes como "A Noite dos Mortos-Vivos" (1968) e "A Caverna" (2005) e obras literárias como "O Fogo da Inveja" de H.P. Lovecraft e "A Floresta" de Richard Adams, entre outros, estabelecem as bases para essa vertente, abordando a fragilidade da relação entre humanos e a natureza. Com o aumento da conscientização sobre as mudanças climáticas e os desastres ambientais, o Eco-Horror se tornou uma forma poderosa de criticar a exploração desenfreada e de refletir sobre as consequências éticas e existenciais da interação humana com o planeta. No episódio de hoje, nossos investigadores Andrei Fernandes, Ananda Mida e Jey Carrillo convidam Raphael Fernandes para falar mais sobre a vertente que também serve como ferramenta de alerta sobre os perigos da desconexão entre os seres humanos e a natureza, que convida o público a refletir sobre suas próprias ações e suas repercussões no mundo natural.

Americans can't look away from horror stories, whether it's slasher films on the big screen, true crime on the TV screen, or viral videos on the small screens of our phones. And in a lot of ways, as the historian Jeremy Dauber argues, American history is one horror story after another—from the terror the Puritans felt and wrought in the dark of New England, through the atrocities of Native American genocide and enslavement, down to modern fears of nuclear war. Dauber's new book, American Scary: A History of Horror, from Salem to Stephen King and Beyond, plumbs the depths of the nation's past to draw unexpected parallels between contemporary terrors and older ones, whether Frankenstein's connection to Black history or Charlotte Perkins Gilman's veiled xenophobia. Dauber, a professor of Jewish literature and American studies at Columbia University, joins the podcast to talk about old standbys, forgotten gems, and new classics of the horror genre.Go beyond the episode:Jeremy Dauber's American Scary: A History of Horror, from Salem to Stephen King and Beyond Read Charles W.

Things are moving along nicely. Keep an ear open for when we pull the trigger, hopefully in a couple of weeks!   And it's time for the Classic Tales Book Club to meet again! Keep an eye on your inboxes on Tuesday for our monthly newsletter which will contain the zoom link. Our zoom meeting will be on Wednesday, April 10th at 4:00 PM Pacific time, 7:00 PM Eastern. We'll talk about the satirical nature of Gulliver's Travels, and the power of satire. See you then! Follow the link in the show notes to subscribe to our newsletter, and get the zoom link on Tuesday. Mark Twain is quoted as saying that, “a classic is a book which people praise and don't read”. Gulliver's Travels likely fits into this category for a lot of us. We've seen the Max Fleisher cartoon, or the Ray Harryhausen film in the 70s, or the film with Jack Black in 2010. But we've probably never read it. Or we tried, and gave it up. So, what is the lasting appeal of this difficult book? Gulliver's Travels was originally published in 1727. Swift's novel is a satire of British monarchy and Imperialism. He succeeds in taking the mundane, or something we largely take for granted, and pushing it to the extreme to show its absurdity. This goes for everything from governments to our own physical bodies. And yeah, nothing is safe, so get ready for some bodily functions we'd rather not talk about to come front and center.   Gulliver records his travels to several different lands of adventure. Instead of going through the entire book now, we'll tackle them one voyage at a time. Then we'll take a breather. This first stint will be the first part of the book – A Voyage to Lilliput in three parts. Gulliver travels to the land of Lilliput, as well as a land of giants, and also visits the dystopian world of the Houyhnhnms (hoo-IH-nims), among others. I hope you like it. And now, A Voyage to Lilliput, part 1 of 3, from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift.
