Eventually, 2 of the 3 are expelled, along with a young Herland woman who has married one of the men.

Giới thiệu về tác giả
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, also known as Charlotte Perkins Stetson, was a prominent American sociologist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform. She was a utopian feminist during a time when her accomplishments were exceptional for women, and she served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story, ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’, which she wrote after a severe bout of post-partum depression.
