What if women’s basic rights, like freedom of speech, were revoked? What if women could only speak 100 words per day and were not taught how to read or write? Christina Dalcher explores this frightening future in her dystopian debut, Vox.

In the video below, Christina shares three books that are her all-time favorites, and have been for a long time. From literary classics to a horror novel with great depth, these books are certainly worth a read (or two).
