Moving the Mountain

Description

Written by feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman of “The Yellow Wallpaper” fame in 1911, “Moving the Mountain” is a utopian novel set in the future where America has fulfilled its Progressive destiny. Men and women are equal, work is sparse, and science is the new religion. A thought-provoking glimpse into the utopian mindset of the early 20th century, it is up to the reader to determine what extent this societal idea has been imitated, and whether this is desirable… or even achievable, even with universal agreement.
