Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
I’d read bits and pieces of this before, so it wasn’t completely new, but it was pretty enjoyable. A lot of the stereotypes Gilman was speaking out against just aren’t heard of today (mostly), but if you think about it in relation to the time she was writing Herland, I can see how this book would have been pretty radical.
