Three American men hack their way into a mountain valley somewhere in South America and find a country of women, two thousand years old, who long ago lost their men and learned to reproduce without them. Charlotte Perkins Gilman serialized this short novel in 1915 in her own magazine, The Forerunner, where she also published The Yellow Wallpaper a generation earlier.
