This is a pretty awesome feminist work of fiction from the early 20th century. Three explorers set out to find an undiscovered land- and what they find is a society comprised solely of women. Not only is the society functioning, but it is thriving. For being written in 1915, this does not really shy away from questions of sex, femininity, masculinity, and gender roles, in general. It is part of a trilogy, so it has a sort of abrupt, "huh?" ending, but as a piece of historical literature and part of the feminist canon, I really enjoyed it.
