This paper aims to examine Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s religious perspective as portrayed in her Herland from Erich Neumann’s theory of the Great Mother. In Herland, male Americans explore Herland where Mother goddesses with ‘Loving Power’ are capable of virgin birth. At the outset, Vandyck is impressed by its parthenogenesis, and then the advanced technology, systematic organization, and excellent management of the female community. Accepting several negative aspects of his country’s Christianity, he however begins to realize the contradictions internalized in Herlanders which result from establishing their own utopia. In this, Herland is seen as an imagined place to overcome the differentiation of patriarchal Christianity, but reversely Herland reveals its ambivalence of eugenics by controlling their fertility and furthermore maintaining their hierarchal system.
