Revisiting the Concept of Community: An Examination of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Utopian Vision.
Connell, Jeanne M.
Peabody Journal of Education, v70 n4 p19-33 Sum 1995
Explores the communitarian dimensions of feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman as expressed in her Utopian novel "Herland," arguing that, although cognizant of tensions between individual and community, Gilman's central point is the creation of community based on care and cooperation. Gilman's theory of education as related to "Herland" is examined. (SM)
