I mean dystopian fiction of course Blush

Oh I love Dalcher even more now. Her book Vox was brilliant and it's completely appropriate and right for her to speak up. The book, for those who haven't heard about it, begins with women being limited to 100 words a day. I strongly recommend it.

Good. More voices .

greyinganddecaying · 31/12/2021 16:02

She was apparently told to keep quiet before now.

That's a shame

Helleofabore · 31/12/2021 16:47

It is very telling isn’t it when another voice comes out and then also the truth that they were told to stay silent on the issue for the sake of their future career.

The totalitarianism of those ‘be kind’ people is a sight to behold. The hypocrisy is outstanding.

Great to hear. The more who speak up the more can speak up.

The author of Vox - how ironic is that?
Panicmode1 · 31/12/2021 17:13

I've just read Femlandia (having read Vox and Q), and felt sure she would be GC, but I guess she had to establish herself first.....

TooWicked · 31/12/2021 17:14

Oh that’s interesting and pleasing.

I’m about halfway through her book Femlandia now, and from the tone of the book I actually thought she was going to be another Margaret Atwood.

@greyinganddecaying

Very ironic, since I imagine these were the same people who profited from the publication of her dystopian fiction about the silencing of women’s voices…

I’m glad she’s been able to speak out anyway, and hope she doesn’t pay too steep a price for it.

MakingTheBestOfIt · 31/12/2021 17:20

I’ve just downloaded Q and Femlandia. I’ve already read and loved Vox, and her other 2 novels had somehow passed me by.

TooWicked · 31/12/2021 17:21

Femlandia is 99p on kindle atm for anyone that wants it.

WorriedMumsDontSleep · 31/12/2021 17:23

Great need a new book to download and enjoyed vox. Cheers!

Wheresthebeach · 31/12/2021 17:24

Good, the more the better.

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 31/12/2021 17:32

Just bought it on kindle

clopper · 31/12/2021 17:37

Just ordered Q and Femlandia. Keen to support an author that supports women.

Binglebong · 31/12/2021 18:08

Excellent - Femiland was on my to buy list so I'll get it now to celebrate another bravecwoman. Really enjoyed her other books.

endofthelinefinally · 31/12/2021 18:31

Just ordered Q and Femlandia. I really enjoyed Vox.

Lowhum · 31/12/2021 18:55

I read Vox and Q this year. They were good easy reads, but scared me as mother!

nocoolnamesleft · 31/12/2021 19:06

Enjoyed Vox, just ordered the other two books.

Worrysaboutalot · 31/12/2021 20:07

Just bought her last book, I already had the first two. Glad she felt able to speak out now. Brave lady. Grin

Sounds like Twitter turned into a dictatorship.
PaleBlueMoonlight · 31/12/2021 20:44

Have just bought femlandia. Thank you Christina.

Appledrop · 31/12/2021 20:50
