   (Herland, 1915 novel written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.)   
      
   It being Mother's Day, I was reminded of a review of   
   _Herland_ the author of which thought it a grievous flaw in   
   the book that the Herlanders thought that motherhood was   
   important.  (Sorry; no cite; I skimmed over it weeks ago.)   
      
   Which makes me wonder why some men want to be women when   
   women are being vigorously assured that they can't possibly   
   be equal to men unless they are indistinguishable from men   
   -- any interest in traditional female pursuits such as food,   
   clothing, shelter, and the propagation of the species must   
   be roundly denounced.
