Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman looks boring based on the cover of the book along with the back of the book with a side view of a seemingly educated white women. This most likely means that the book has to do with women's rights which I believe was around the 1920s, more or less. That era was about women's right to vote on laws such as alcohol, property, and/or divorce. The prominent women that I know of during that time are Susan B. Anthony, Margaret Sanger, Angelina Grimke, and Alice Paul.
From the title of the book, it sounds as if the book is describing how the women rule America. It is broken up into "her" which denotes the female and "land" which denotes an area of the world. This means a female of an area of the world. That basically sums it up. The area on the front cover of the book looks cold and has mountains. It could possibly be in areas of the northern part of the United States since the southern part of America is usually warmer because it is closer to the equator. What was previously said is most likely what the book is about.
