About this eBook

Author Gilman, Charlotte Perkins, 1860-1935
Title Moving the Mountain
Credits Laura Natal Rodrigues
Summary "Moving the Mountain" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a novel written in the early 20th century, specifically around 1911. The story explores a future society where a man, John Robertson, awakens after thirty years of unconsciousness, discovering a dramatically altered world shaped by the empowerment of women and societal changes. The narrative reflects on themes of gender roles, societal progress, and the potential for a changed human condition. At the start of the novel, we meet John Robertson, who has been found lost and disoriented in Tibet after a long absence. He is reunited with his sister, Nellie, who reveals the wild changes that have taken place while he was gone. As he grapples with the shock of waking up in a time that has progressed greatly beyond his last memories, he learns about the advancements in women's rights and societal transformations that have taken place. Through John's perspective, we are introduced to his bewilderment about the social dynamics, especially regarding the roles of women in this new world, leading to a complex exploration of identity, progress, and the nature of change in human society.
