Christina Dalcher creates a depressing vision of the future in just a few chapters & her conception of Femlandia is brilliantly achieved. She creates a great setting, but doesn't bog the story down with unnecessary detail. The book is filled with well drawn characters & their intereactions are beautifully crafted. One characters sums up Femlandia (both the place & the novel) perfectly when they ask if it is utopia or dystopia. I felt immediately pulled in and intrigued…I cannot wait to see what is going to come next from this author'Decades ago, a group of women banded together to form a women’s only colony, free from the rules of the states. Surviving off the land, they become wholly self-sufficient.

If this was promoted as a thriller with an evil group doing evil things, I wouldn't mind it too much. But people, and mostly women, will read this expecting it to be something very different. And many won't care because their "feminism" is full of empty slogans that do nothing to fix the problem, so I'm sure they'll love the misogyny of this book. But critical thinkers like myself...well, we see things differently.

The worst thing about this book is the marketing behind it. That's not the author's fault so I won't blame her for that. When you write a book that ends up being called "feminist", people assume you'll write another one that is similar. If they see the title "Femlandia", it'd be even more clear to them. The marketing team will use the success of the previous book to promote this one in a similar fashion. It all makes sense. HOWEVER, this book is not a feminist book, it is an anti-feminist book. by comparison, this is so shallow and brief. i'm not sure what point she was trying to make. ladies can be shitty, too? what's the story? why is this book? To everyone else, thank you for reading my review, I hope that I have done enough to help make it clear just how terrible it is. reddorakeen on Beyond The Exorcist: Five Movies That Explore Possession From Non-Christian Perspectives 4 hours ago

During the past several decades, the marketing of Finlandia vodka has involved a number of global promotional campaigns. Femlandia is Christina Dalcher’s third feminist dystopian fiction novel, cementing her name in the genre. It tells a new story, however, there are a few themes that seem to carry through from one novel to the next; the main female characters in each novel for example all have some qualification and/or job in linguistics and communication, this is perhaps because the author herself is a linguist so she has followed the rule of writing what you know. That book was not perfect and I personally didn't love the ending. But I really enjoyed it and thought it started really interesting conversations. And that's what I want when I read a fiction book with feminist undertones. I don't need a guide on how to be a feminist. I need fiction to be used to start conversations that we need to have. The campaign "To the life less ordinary" is designed to illustrate that, due to its blend of 6-row barley, glacial water, and the midnight sun process, Finlandia is a "less ordinary vodka" produced in a less ordinary fashion. The campaign is meant to inspire viewers to never settle for the routine but instead always embrace a less ordinary life.

[20] In the autumn of 1899 Sibelius composed the music for a series of tableaux illustrating episodes in Finland´s past. The tableaux were presented as a part of the Press Celebrations held in November that year. The celebrations were a contribution towards the resistance to the efforts to increase Russian influence in the then autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland. The music culminated in a stirring, patriotic finale, “Finland awakes”. my problems with this book aren't ideological—i don't read books to see my beliefs mirrored, nor do i read books to have my beliefs challenged. i'm willing to roll along wherever the author chooses to have their characters take me, but at the end of it all, i want there to have been a purpose for the journey—not necessarily a lesson or a stance, but give me something to digest at the end of it; even something as writing 101 as setting or character growth or conflict resolution.
