*1 spoiler* I feel I have to give 'Moving the Mountain', 2 stars, only because I love Perkins Gilman's writing style. Otherwise, I would have given this book 1 star. This book is simply just a monologue on the alleged pros of eugenics that created this utopian society. Of course, this is made worse by an ever-so-frustrating narrator, who will not concede even when he knows he is wrong, he never learns! Then, to end the novel by marrying his own cousin? The things I liked about the book were the humanization of women and their newfound autonomy and of course the description of socialism. Other than that, I have trouble finding other redeeming qualities about this book.
