Forerunner (magazine)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Forerunner was a monthly magazine kept by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (mostly known as the writer of The Yellow Wallpaper), from 1909 through 1916. During that time, she wrote every single line of it - all editorials, critical articles, book reviews, essays, poems, stories, and six serialised novels.

One of the most interesting novels coming out of The Forerunner was probably Herland. In this feminist utopia, we are presented with an all-women society in which women reproduce themselves through parthenogenesis, and the female value of nurturing is upheld by the community.

The Forerunner takes up 28 full-length books.
