- Charlotte Perkins Gilman was born in Hartford, Connecticut, to Frederick Beecher Perkins and his wife Mary Fitch Westcott.
Harriet Beecher Stowe, Catharine Beecher, and Isabella Beecher Hooker, three of the most distinguished 19th-century American writers and women's advocates were her great-aunts of whom she was very proud. Charlotte herself became a noted writer, public speaker, economist, and women's rights and suffrage activist. In 1884, at the age of 24, she married Charles Walter Stetson, an aspiring artist, and the following year gave birth to their daughter. Shortly after the birth, Charlotte suffered a serious bout of what today would be diagnosed as post-partum depression. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story "The Yellow Wallpaper," published in 1892. She also wrote a famous treatise, Women and Economics (1898), in which she said women could never be truly independent until they first had economic freedom. This theme was explored through her lectures, her more than 1,000 nonfiction publications, and her fiction. In 1900, Gilman remarried to her first cousin, George Houghton Gilman. Over the next 25 years, Charlotte also ran her own magazine, The Forerunner, in which many of her stories appeared. An advocate of euthanasia, Gilman ended her life at the age of 75 with an overdose of chloroform. Her work fell into obscurity until it was revived by the women’s movement in the 1960s. In 1994, Charlotte Perkins Gilman was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, New York.

Herland kertoo kolmesta tutkimusmatkailijasta, jotka löytävät syvältä Amazonin viidakosta tuhansia vuosia eristyksissä eläneen maan, jossa asuu vain naisia. Miesten suureksi hämmästykseksi naisten maa ei olekaan sekasorron ja keskinäisen mustasukkaisuuden värittämää kaaosta tai edes vaaleanpunainen kukkaislaakso, vaan käytännöllinen ja järjestelmällisesti rakennettu, korkealle kehittynyt yhteiskunta, jonka ytimenä on äitiys. Naiset pystyvät lisääntymään ilman miehiä ja heille syntyy vain tyttöjä. Koulutuksella, luonnonläheisyydellä ja demokratialla on vankat perusteet Herlandin sosiaalisessa järjestelmässä.
Kertoja-sosiologin kautta Gilman luo huimia kontrasteja meidän maailmamme ja Herlandin välille. Yhtäkkiä niinkin päivänselvät asiat kuin vankilat, lehmänmaidon juonti tai koirien pitäminen lemmikkeinä asettuvat täysin uuteen valoon, kun miehet vertaavat "meidän" maailmamme käytäntöjä Herlandin asukkaiden yhteisöön.
Sukupuolistereotypioihin turvautumiselta ei voida välttyä, kun erityisesti kolmikon macho, tyttöjen perässä huonolla menestyksellä juokseva Terry, ärsyyntyy Herlandin asukkaiden "epänaisellisesta" käytöksestä. Gilman tekeekin osuvia ja usein satiirisia huomautuksia konstruoiduista sukupuolirooleista: meidän maailmassamme miesten kuuluisi olla mahdollisimman maskuliinisia kontrastina feminiinisille naisille. Herlandissa tätä dikotomiaa ei ole eikä sitä kaivata; maskuliinisuus ja feminiinisyys kulkevat käsi kädessä ja sukupuoleen perustuvat luonnehdinnat käyvät oikeastaan tarpeettomiksi.
Suomentaja Ville-Juhani Sutinen on laatinut romaaniin myös sen teoreettista puolta korostavan esipuheen ja lisännyt siihen loppuviitteitä käännösratkaisujen tarkempaan selvittelyyn. Lisäksi painoksessa on mukana Sutisen suomentama bengalilaisen Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossainin vielä varhaisempi feministinen novelliklassikko, Sulttaanittaren uni (1905). Naisten asuttamasta ja hallitsemasta maailmasta kertova novelli on peräisin niinkin yllättävästä kulttuurista kuin Intian musliminaisten parista.
