«Una revisión aterradora de El cuento de la criada en el presente, y un oportuno recordatorio del poder y la importancia del lenguaje.» ella

Situada en unos Estados Unidos donde la mitad de la población ha sido silenciada, Voz es una historia inolvidable y llena de tensión, en la que una mujer se enfrentará a los poderes establecidos para proteger a su hija ya sí misma. Una poderosa distopía feminista en la línea de El cuento de la criada y El poder .

Sinopsis

Cien al día. Ni una más. Esa es la cifra de palabras que el neurolingüista Jean McClellan y el resto de mujeres tienen derecho a pronunciar cada día. Una sola palabra por encima de esa cifra y cientos de voltios de electricidad recorrerán las venas de cualquier mujer que se atreva a sobrepasarla. Ese es el mandato del nuevo gobierno. Las mujeres no pueden escribir, los libros les han sido prohibidos, sus cuentas bancarias han sido transferidas al hombre de la familia más cercana y se han suprimido todos los empleos para las mujeres.

Pero cuando el hermano del presidente sufre un extraño ataque, a Jean le devuelven temporalmente el derecho a trabajar ya hablar más de 100 palabras al día, con el objetivo de que continuar investigando la cura de la afasia, un extraño trastorno de una parte del cerebro que controla el lenguaje.

Pronto Jean descubrirá que la están utilizando y que ha pasado, sin saberlo, a formar parte de un plan mucho más grande, cuya intención no es encontrar la cura de la afasia, sino inducirla. ¿El objetivo final? Eliminar por completo las voces de las mujeres.

La crítica ha dicho...

«Hay que leer Voz. Vas a encontrar todos los elementos propios del género, incluida una resistencia al opresor, mezclados de forma acertada y con el toque moderno de concienciación y reivindicación social.» El blog de Sara lectora

«Los cien términos que se les permite a las mujeres en Voz alertan sobre un recorte drástico de la libertad de expresión. "Por no hablar de los problemas que llegan cuando a una niña se le niega el lenguaje. Y el riesgo de no aprender a hablar antes de los 15 años es que posteriormente no será capaz de desarrollar esa habilidad, necesaria para todo."» Christina Dalcher en Vogue España

California Online Privacy Protection Act CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy.
