Moving the Mountain is a groundbreaking feminist utopian novel by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published in her periodical The Forerunner and later as a book in 1911. This work is a significant contribution to the wave of utopian and dystopian literature that emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As the first entry in Gilmans utopian trilogy, it sets the stage for her subsequent works, including the renowned Herland (1915) and its sequel, With Her in Ourland (1916). The story follows John Robertson, who, after being lost in Tibet for thirty years, returns to a radically transformed America, guided back by his sister Nellie.
