Herland is a utopian novel from 1915, written by feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
The book describes an isolated society composed entirely of women, who reproduce via parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction).
The result is an ideal social order: free of war, conflict, and domination. (from wikipedia.org)
