She and her personality-less daughter are on their way to seek refuge in ‘Femlandia’, a womyn-only community founded by Miranda’s (there’s her name) man-hating, feminist mother. And, of course, when they arrive, after *incidents*, things aren’t as they seem…cue the dramatic music. All in all, another good book by Dalcher and I look forward to being scared again by her chilling alternative futures. Argh! I keep screaming! They didn’t stop all night! I had so many nightmares. I advise you not to read this book before you go to bed if you don’t want to look like me dripping salvias, insomniac, exhausted, terrified piece of human particles! There’s a scene where the MC and her daughter finally reach Femlandia and there has to be a spot search upon entry. Understandable, right? Except they make them take all their clothes off to make sure they’ve always been a woman.

Can we stop using the ‘XX’ symbol as a sign of feminism? Not all women have those chromosomes. Not all people with xx chromosomes identify as women. We then move onto the conversation about Feminism where the MC’s mother tells us that if we don’t agree with the sinister, disgusting behaviour being carried out in this so-called ‘Femlandia’ then we don’t believe women.

In VOX, our main protagonist used to not see the harm the patriarchy does to the world. She used to laugh at her feminist friend until shit hit the fan and oh well, maybe the crazy feminist was right.

Trumpet in B♭ | Trombone | Trombone in B♭ | Tenor horn | Horns in F | Euphonium | 2nd Euphonium | Tuba | Bass in B♭ (tuba) An unwritten rule seems to have been established over the past few years that all-female communities in speculative and dystopian fiction must be portrayed as brainwashed, abusive cults. Femlandia, Christina Dalcher's third novel, ends up being both misogynistic and misanthropic, with a bit of lesbophobia thrown in for good measure. The United States is in economic freefall and Miranda and her daughter Emma are living rough. After a violent encounter, Miranda does the last thing she would have expected: she seeks sanctuary at Femlandia, the all-female colony established by her estranged mother. But is Femlandia the sanctuary it seems? OBVIOUSLY NOT, and I really don't think that's a spoiler, although the exact ways in which this community has been corrupted are gradually revealed over the course of the novel. I really wasn't sure what Dalcher was trying to say here. Femlandia seems to be arguing that we should never try and create any form of society that differs from the precise social arrangements we currently have, because it will inevitably become controlled by power-hungry dictators. Miranda is a horrible character, but so is everybody else in this book, apart from a few passive victims of the commune. Dalcher seems to be trying to push the idea that feminism = equality, but does not seem to understand that the reason feminism still exists is that we've not been able to achieve equality in the world we currently live in, so simply stating that there's no difference between men and women is pointless. I also did not enjoy that, despite the fact this is an all-female society, only three characters are, or have been, in same-sex relationships and they range from deeply culpable to completely evil. Bloody lesbians! Perhaps the overall message of this book is that Femlandia would have been a whole lot better if it properly valued wealth, men and heterosexuality. If you already read the author’s Vox and Master Class , you may be prepared what kind of biggest bomb she will throw in your lap but knowing doesn’t mean how to dismantle it! The things you’ll read still shake you to the core!From a distillery into an international actor in the alcoholic beverage industry". Altia Annual Report 2007: 84–85. 2007.

For Miranda, who struggled to agree with many of her mother’s outlooks on life, Femlandia is the last resort now that life outside the gates is so dangerous for her and her daughter Emma. Upon arrival though, the utopia of Femlandia isn’t quite what it seems and Miranda begins to discover dark and sinister secrets. Before I get into spoilers, let me say, I understand the point the author is trying to make. She doesn’t let you NOT understand it. She hits you over the head with it, several times. Yes, we get it, extremism bad. Men good. Equality, not supremacy. Power corrupts. Yawn. before her mother's death, miranda had been estranged from her for many years, #notafan of the great win somers' beliefs, methods, or showboating public persona. miranda married young and lived very comfortably for twenty years, until circumstances (i.e. world goes boom) led her to beg for entry from femlandia co-founder jennifer jones—the woman who slipped into the daughter-shaped void miranda left in her mother's life. Welcome to the feminist utopia Femlandia: womyn-oriented, self sufficient,cooperative, safe, accepting, natural, free place promises the women a world without men equals to a world without worry as it’s advertised by cofounder Jennifer Jones.( she seems like playing daughter part better than Miranda)
