After reading the first few pages of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's book, "Herland", I have come to conclusion that the story seems to be about the life of a group of friends, who go on an adventure around what seems like an abandoned part of the world. Then, one of the three friends is telling their story of the adventure, as a book. The place they go to must be called "Herland", or at least that might be the name the three people have given it after traveling all around it. I suspect that there will be a life changing event that takes place for the three travelers, only because if there weren't a "change" occurring, I don't feel like there would be enough plot to keep the story going.
By the visual aspects on the cover of the story, and knowing the title of the story as "Herland", maybe the three men travel to a place where they find the love of their lives, or maybe its just a land of women (Herland). I can see the three men finding three beautiful women and end up staying in "Herland", together forever, building friendships, relationships, and maybe even ending up getting married and growing old together. Because only one of the men are telling the story, maybe he is telling it as an old man, after everyone else has either parted ways or passed away, years after the adventure had taken place, and many years after they had been married to the women they met in Herland.
To me, this story seems like an interesting love story, with a peculiar plot twist somewhere in there that will throw everything off. Although I have a weird vibe about this story, I do feel like it will turn out for the best, and the three friends will have traveled through, and experienced a life changing event that is worth telling the rest of the world, in hopes that they can take on these miraculous adventures as well, changing the world "one step at a time".
