It involves no other change than a change of mind, the mere awakening of people, especially the women, to existing possibilities. It indicates what people might do, real people, now living, in thirty years—if they would.<br/>One man, truly aroused and redirecting his energies, can change his whole life in thirty years.<br/>So can the world.’<br/><br/>Synopsis<br/><br/>Moving the Mountain, the feminist utopian novel written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman was first published in serial form in Perkins Gilman's periodical, The Forerunner, and then in book form in 1911. It both captured and contextualized a significant wave of the utopian and dystopian writing that characterised the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Rather than hurling her protagonist far into the future, she transports him a few decades forward in time but causes him significant adjustment problems, and she referred to the novel as "a short-distance Utopia, a baby Utopia, a little one that can grow." It is the first book in Gilman's landmark trilogy of utopian works, which also included Herland and its sequel, With Her in Ourland.<br/><br/>A Stunning Reprint<br/><br/>At Hook & Hairline Press we take every step possible to ensure the original integrity of this book has been upheld to its highest standard.
