Written in 1893 by two women from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Unveiling a Parallel is a remarkable precursor of Twentieth-century feminist utopian novels like Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland and Marge Piercy's Woman on the Edge of Time.
Carol A. Kolmerten is professor of English at Hood College. She is the author of Women in Utopia: The Ideology of Gender in American Owennite Communities and The American Life of Ernestine L. Rose. Her conceptual introduction provides biographical information about the authors and places the book in historical and contemporary perspective.
