| Annotation | Eutopia set in 1888 Bellamy's world contrasted with an old woman's memories of the period before the eutopia was established. The single greatest emphasis is on the enhanced leisure, with a long vacation every few years, short vacations throughout the year, and free time daily. This allows people the opportunity to be creative (literature is stressed) and spend time in their gardens and doing other things they enjoy. A particular emphasis is on the way cooperative housekeeping frees women from onerous, unpaid labor to follow their desired pursuits. |
