Talk:Herland (novel)

Reliable source

Full disclosure, I can't stand this book either, but an undergraduate college paper by a student of Physics, Music, & German at Middle Tennessee State University[1] does not meet WP:RS, no matter how true it may all be. AlexeiSeptimus 18:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

space?

Shouldn't there be a space between 'her' and 'land'? Can this be fixed please? Zigzig20s 07:53, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

No, the title is in fact Herland, one word. Шизомби 23:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:CharlottePerkinsGilman Herland.jpg

Image:CharlottePerkinsGilman Herland.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Forgot Something...

I think some mention should be made of how objectively bad this work is, if this work is to be regarded as culturally or historically significant. Sloppy writing, gaping plot holes, "social satire" that is nothing more than strawman arguments, man-hatred and bigotry of the author ... The article fails the reader insofar as it presents this work as credible feminism. -- Newagelink (talk) 06:03, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

The lady does protest too much, methinks. Given that the novel was written in 1915, a very different world from this one, I thought it was wonderful satire. HairyWombat 02:46, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Criticisms of the work would be completely appropriate if you can find such criticism in a reliable source. Please feel free to include information about how the book was received by critics or how it was treated by academics. Pburka (talk) 04:36, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

I think most of the critics were biased Christians who did not like that the values of Herland are different to the values of the bible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GaiaMoon1 (talk • contribs) 16:22, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Delete "Major Themes" section

The "Major Themes" section should be deleted as non-factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.224.242.246 (talk) 02:01, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I noticed there was a lot of incorrect facts in it so I have tried to correct them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GaiaMoon1 (talk • contribs) 16:19, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

This section does seem somewhat subjective and unnecessary. Most of it seems to just repeat what the book is about without adding any additional significant information to the article...--108.76.103.35 (talk) 11:51, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Better world

When I first read this book like every man I was sceptic, but life experience has proven that The World controlled by women would be a far better world than what we live now. Firstly the population control, women will have no time to have more than 1 child since they will be busy with their work. Secondly favoritism will be less and less, since men cannot offer favors to women to bend the law. 2600:6C50:37F:477F:DD38:6860:B5ED:C045 (talk) 13:26, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
