"Herland" is a trailblazing novel from feminist icon Charlotte Perkins Gilman and should be on everyone's TBR list. In this new audio edition, acclaimed actress Rosy McEwen delivers a spellbinding performance bringing a modern and fresh touch to this "forgotten feminist classic" as The Guardian called it.
