Gilman's feminist utopia highlights the author's ideas about women and her hopes for the future. Certainly she makes her point, and her essentialist take on gender relations will appear simplistic to most contemporary readers...but she uses humor and an honestly interesting-in-its-own-right plot to draw the reader in and keep the reader engaged.

What would you do if you were a man who suddenly found himself captured by an all woman society. Three men have different responses in this book. I found it a great read although the amazon reviews are somewhat dismal.
