In Heretics, he touches on a range of topics, including social Darwinism, eugenics, nihilism and atheism, while enumerating the flaws he finds in the work of his intellectual contemporaries such as Rudyard Kipling, Friedrich Nietzsche, George...

Frank Herbert was born in Tacoma, Washington, and educated at the University of Washington, Seattle. He worked a wide variety of jobs - including TV cameraman, radio commentator, oyster diver, jungle survival instructor, lay analyst, creative writing teacher, reporter and editor of several West Coast newspapers - before becoming a full-time writer.
In 1952, Herbert began publishing science fiction with 'Looking for Something?' in Startling Stories. But his true emergence as a writer of major stature did not occur until 1965, with the publication of Dune. Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune followed, completing the saga that the Chicago Tribune would call 'one of the monuments of modern science fiction.' Herbert is also the...

Description
Three male explorers set out to reach a legendary land where only women live, and find—to their surprise—that the legends are true. This country hidden in the mountains is a feminist utopia. There are no men, nor is there war, poverty, or crime. The residents subsist on food from cultivated forests, maintain immaculate houses and roads, and reproduce asexually through parthenogenesis. Although the main characters are men, their role is to show us how their notions about society and womanhood are humorously upturned.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman was an outspoken activist and suffragist, most famous nowadays for her short story “The Yellow Wallpaper.” As a writer, she...

Description
The bank owned by the Vernon family has a long and illustrious history in the town of Redborough—until its chief, John Vernon, brings it to its knees through mismanagement. He flees the country, and his cousin, Catherine Vernon, meets the crisis as the other shareholder, and at the expense of her own personal fortune. Under her competent leadership, the bank regains its past glories, and she becomes a wealthy philanthropist.
As part of her largesse, Catherine provides for a number of her scattered relatives; after John Vernon’s death, she invites the impoverished widow to return to Redborough with her daughter, Hester. The first meeting of Catherine with Hester, still only fourteen, brings out an instinctive and mutual antipathy. Yet...
