Tietoa tästä e-kirjasta
‘Moving the Mountain’ (1911) is a novel by American feminist and writer, Charlotte Gilman. It is the first book of her classic utopian feminist trilogy that includes ‘Herland’ (1915) and ‘With Her in Our Land’ (1916).
After suffering from memory loss due to an accident during his trip to Tibet at the age of 25, John Robertson is eventually found by his sister Nellie thirty years later.
She helps him recover his memory, but on returning home to America, John is shocked to discover that much has changed and women are now emancipated. Can he learn to accept equality of the sexes and that the misogynist views of his youth no longer exist?
