Vox

$ 350 元 原價 350

Set in a United States in which half the population has been silenced, Vox is the harrowing, unforgettable story of what one woman will do to protect herself and her daughter.

On the day the government decrees that women are no longer allowed more than one hundred words per day, Dr. Jean McClellan is in denial. This can't happen here. Not in America. Not to her.

Soon women are not permitted to hold jobs. Girls are not taught to read or write. Females no longer have a voice. Before, the average person spoke sixteen thousand words each day, but now women have only one hundred to make themselves heard.

For herself, her daughter, and every woman silenced, Jean will reclaim her voice.

This is just the beginning...not the end.

故事發生在美國,有一半的人口處於沉默狀態,Vox是一個令人痛心,令人難忘的故事,講述一個女人將如何保護自己和她的女兒。

在政府裁定女性每天不允許超過一百字的日子,讓·麥克萊倫博士否認了這一點。 這不可能發生在這裡。 不在美國。 不是對她。
 
不久後,婦女不得持有工作。 女孩不會被教導閱讀或寫作。 女性不再有聲音。 以前,普通人每天說一萬六千字,但現在女性只能說一百字。

對於她自己,她的女兒以及每一個沉默的女人,Jean都會收回她的聲音。

這只是一個開始......而不是結束。
