A world in which they work together to shape their rules, societies and futures. In myth, literature and throughout history such groups have always existed, and today all-women communities thrive all over the world. In this urgent and ground-breaking book, Megha Mohan goes in search of the roots of these societies, discovering a vibrant, worldwide history brought together here for the first time. \u003ci\u003eHerlands\u003c\/i\u003e asks: How and why do these groups exist today? And what can the rest of society learn from them?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing her great-grandmother’s matrilineal Nair community as a starting point, Mohan introduces readers to some of the countless women-only groups living on their own terms, often operating discretely from the male-dominated cultural and political mainstream. From the Megalia feminist ‘trolls’ of South Korea, a secret Womyn’s Land in the American Deep South, gatherings of millionaire girlbosses and the rise and fall of a women-only island in the Baltic Sea, to the survivors of sexual violence in rural Kenya, \u003ci\u003eHerlands\u003c\/i\u003e will offer a global look at women’s community and why it matters for us all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57397776187774,"sku":"NW9781787304772","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781787304772.jpg?v=1778666851","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/herlands","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
