Jean McClellan spends her time in almost complete silence, limited to just 100 words a day. Any more, and a thousand volts of electricity will course through her veins. Now the new government is in power, everything has changed. But only if you’re a woman. Almost overnight, bank accounts are frozen, passports are taken away and 70 million women lose their jobs. Even more terrifyingly, young girls are no longer taught to read or write.

Jean McClellan è diventata una donna di poche parole. Ma non per sua scelta. Può pronunciarne solo cento al giorno, non una di più. Anche sua figlia di sei anni porta il braccialetto conta parole, e le è proibito imparare a leggere e a scrivere. Perché, con il nuovo governo al potere, in America è cambiato tutto. Jean è solo una dei milioni di donne che, oltre alla voce, hanno dovuto rinunciare al passaporto, al conto in banca, al lavoro. Ma è l'unica che ora ha la possibilità di ribellarsi.

O governo decreta que as mulheres só podem falar 100 palavras por dia. A Dra. Jean McClellan está em negação. Ela não acredita que isso esteja acontecendo de verdade. Em pouco tempo, as mulheres também são impedidas de trabalhar e os professores não ensinam mais as meninas a ler e escrever. Antes, cada pessoa falava em média 16 mil palavras por dia, mas agora as mulheres só têm 100 palavras para se fazer ouvir. Lutando por si mesma, sua filha e todas as mulheres silenciadas, Jean vai reivindicar sua voz.

Christina Dalcher nous offre avec "Vox" un roman dystopique glaçant qui rend hommage au pouvoir des mots et du langage. Jean McClellan est docteure en neurosciences. Elle a passé sa vie dans un laboratoire de recherches, loin des mouvements protestataires qui ont enflammé son pays. Mais, désormais, même si elle le voulait, impossible de s'exprimer : comme toutes les femmes, elle est condamnée à un silence forcé, limitée à un quota de 100 mots par jour.

Je mag honderd woorden per dag spreken. Eén woord meer en je krijgt een stroomstoot van duizend volt. Welkom in het nieuwe Amerika. Dr. Jean McClellan brengt haar tijd in stilte door. Ze heeft een teller om haar pols die elk woord bijhoudt dat ze spreekt. Ieder woord boven de honderd zorgt voor een krachtige stroomstoot. En dat is niet de enige maatregel die de nieuwe regering heeft opgelegd. Sinds er een extreem conservatieve partij aan de macht is gekomen, zijn miljoenen vrouwen hun baan kwijtgeraakt. Hun bankrekeningen zijn bevroren, hun paspoorten ingetrokken.

Ihr könnt uns die Wörter nehmen, aber zum Schweigen bringt ihr uns nicht! Als die neue Regierung anordnet, dass Frauen ab sofort nicht mehr als einhundert Wörter am Tag sprechen dürfen, will Jean McClellan diese wahnwitzige Nachricht nicht wahrhaben - das kann nicht passieren. Nicht im 21. Jahrhundert. Nicht in Amerika. Nicht ihr. Schon bald jedoch kann Jean ihren Beruf als Wissenschaftlerin nicht länger ausüben. Schon bald wird ihrer Tochter Sonia in der Schule nicht länger Lesen und Schreiben beigebracht. Sie und alle Mädchen und Frauen werden ihres Stimmrechts, ihres Lebensmutes, ihrer Träume beraubt.
