How safe are we women, and how dangerous is political apathy? In our country’s current political climate, some are experiencing a ripple of fear running under the surface of our existence. Women have finally been relegated to where they belong. Not only is their speech limited, but the law prohibits women from holding jobs outside of the home or reading anything other than the Bible. Men have grown tired of women’s protesting voices and the way they believe they are equal to men. What if we were limited to only 100? Christina Dalcher bases the story of VOX on this premise - but it only applies to women. People speak approximately 16,000 words a day. Therefore, it’s fitting for this inaugural installment to explore the spine-tingling dystopian thriller VOX by Christina Dalcher. This new column is dedicated to kick-ass women - both writers and heroines. I am passionate about women’s issues and the power of women’s voices.
