Nothing makes a blog post more eye-catching than a great header image, but not all publishers have artistic talent. And even accomplished digital creatives often crave some found material to start from or work with in a project. Luckily for all of the above, sources abound for finding a compelling photo to grab your readers’ eyes and draw them in, or to locate fresh multimedia to remix.

A Utopia is a vision of an ideal community.  Dystopia, on the
other hand, is a future vision characterised by an intensifying
of social oppressions and a deepening of the current ecological
crisis. The books we will read are all stories, selected for their
connection to the theme of exploring Utopia/Dystopia by women
writers. In this bookclub, we will gather to discuss not only the
future worlds the author’s weave for us, but also our own
visions for what lies ahead.

What are some of the common themes for these envisioned
futures? What are some of the differences? What do these
visions of “brave new worlds” reflect back to us about our
present time, and the potential to create new paths?

the first meeting we can meet and discuss what we would
like to see come out of the bookclub. At each meeting
thereafter, we can discuss the story and share our own.

“The experts of psychology, sociology, economics, biology, even the new feminism experts, are still engaged in the old battles, of women versus men. The new questions that need to be asked - and with them, the new structures for the new struggle - can only come from pooling our experience…”

 

-Betty Friedan, from ‘The Second Stage.’ Betty Friedan was also the author of ‘The Feminine Mystique’ and the founder and first president of the National Organization for Women (NOW).
