dc.description.abstractCharlotte Perkins Gilman’s literary utopia, Herland (1915) is one of the pioneering texts of utopian literature. The story is narrated by a male character, Van Jennings, who shares his impressions of the utopian land of women, Herland. Three male characters, namely Vandyck Jennings, Terry O. Nicholson and Jeff Margrave, all American, go on an expedition by plane, somewhere in South America, to find out about the mysterious land called Herland, which consists entirely of women, as they are thrilled at the idea of such a country. This journey gradually leads these male characters to question the working mechanism of the projected patriarchal order, though on differing levels. In the light of these male characters’ geographical and metaphorical journey, this article analyzes and discusses Herland through an intersectional reading in order to illustrate how intersecting factors do play an integral role in social inclusion or exclusion. This approach also exposes how Gilman’s text challenges and disrupts the hegemonic discourse, essentialist categorizations, binary oppositions, and culturally embedded assumptions about gender. The ultimate aim of this critical discussion is then to demonstrate the need to adopt a non-binary approach in order to facilitate the formation of a world order that may be free from the restrictive boundaries of the existing discursive practices.
