Comments on: Special Feature: Reading of Gilman’s Novel Herland http://www.feistyaphrodite.com/2007/12/special-feature-reading-of-gilmans-novel-herland/ Media Empowerment for Women, by Women Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:41:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: ChristinaC85 http://www.feistyaphrodite.com/2007/12/special-feature-reading-of-gilmans-novel-herland/#comment-158 ChristinaC85 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 16:56:40 +0000 http://feistyaphrodite.com/2007/12/05/special-feature-reading-of-gilmans-novel-herland/#comment-158 This is the first I have ever heard any part of Gilman's Herland and I was very impressed. It's hard for me to imagine such a world because of the views that have been etched so deeply in my mind about masculinity but such a world sounds beautiful to me. I can only dream of what it would be like to have life be only "a long cycle of motherhood" with "no war," only new beginnings, no violent. I hope that someday the world we live in will be more comparable to the world in Herland. So I say thank you to Carol Ann, Emily and Audrey for showing me such a wonderful place.

It gives me a whole new look at my life, the first comment said it best can we imagine a better life?. Also I think that is women are capable of making changes. The reading does let women know that they are capable of accomplishing on thier own. Great job! Elise I agree with the first two comments.

The selection was well chosen and gives listeners a taste of how provocative Gilman's novel is. The production and reading were excellent. Nice introduction. Can we imagine a better world? Can we make it happen? Gilman gives us one vision. The work of Feisty Aphrodite and listening to Carol Ann, Emily, and Audrey gives me renewed hope for the future.
