Holy Crap!
To kick off my “studying”, I decided to read the lit text “Herland”.
I was looking forward to the author’s explanation as to how the population, made purely of women, could reproduce children.
Her explanation was more or less like, the community of women wished really, really hard for babies; so a woman popped out 5 female babies from her womb, just like that. (Uncannily similar to my mentality about where babies came from when I was 5 years old. I had thought that couples wished very hard to God for the wife to be pregnant, and poof)
Unsatisfied with this explanation (well duh), I wiki-ed it.

Holy crap! So it is possible! (Not the wishing part though)
Just to add, it doesn’t seem applicable to humans too. LOL.
