摘要：

This study uses the French feminist theory of ecriture feminine ("feminine writing") to analyze American feminist intellectual Charlotte Perkins Gilman's successful mediation of masculine and feminine discourses in her utopian novel Herland (1915) and its sequel With Her in Ourland (1916). Van, the male narrator of this series, combines masculine and feminine discourses to produce a "bi-sexual" mode that is fluid, multiple, and blurs boundaries. In achieving ecriture feminine, Van works toward Gilman's vision of a "bi-sexual race" where women and men evolve together as autonomous subjects. (C) 2005 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
