Initially skeptical, the explorers come to realize that Herland has evolved into an ideal, cooperative, matriarchal society--fertile, peaceful, and clean--by selectively reproducing the women's best attributes. As the explorers study Herland culture, they also rethink their own. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This edition reproduces the text originally published in \u003cem\u003eThe Forerunner\u003c\/em\u003e in 1915, including several passages omitted from other editions.
