anaorlic's review against another edition
Zbirka eseja i priča žena iz svih 28 europskih država. Budućnosti europske zajednice pristupale su na vrlo različite načine, a upravo je ova mnogostrukost pogleda bogatstvo zbirke. Ponegdje nam otkrivaju svoje individualne sudbine (nešto slabiji tekstovi), a drugdje govore o neočekivano dalekim vezama Europe i njenih članica i susjeda (poput izvrsne Kapke Kassabove s pričom o Ohridskom i Prespanskom jezeru na granici triju zemalja, ili Leile Slimani koja nas vodi na Mediteran i sjever Afrike).
Hrvatska Asja Bakic odlazi korak dalje i zamišlja znanstveno fantastičnu sliku europske budućnosti, ostavljajući probleme s kojima se trenutno borimo na Zemlji, te ih mijenja za iskonske europske vrijednosti gledane iz vidika bića iz drugih dimenzija. Na sličnom je tragu glas toka svijesti Portugalke Anne Pessoa koja progovara o usamljenosti modernog doba i vječnoj buci tehnologije zbog koje gubimo vlastite misli. Lisa Dwan uz irske tegobe donosi beckettovski pogled na naš svijet i navodi nas da se zajednički upitamo:
‘Kuda bih išao kada bih mogao ići, što bih bio kada bih mogao biti, što bih rekao kada bih imao glasa?’

This is a brilliant @hayfestival project that brought women's voices from every European country together with force, kindness and purpose.
It includes passionate essays, personal accounts as well as stunning imagery about our dear Europe. The theories and stories come with so many voices and forms that it's an intriguing read. For me, this blended effort was the most powerful element - like Europe, this book does not have just one story and the effect of the whole is stunning.
I loved it, I felt none of the writers skimmed over the flaws, they detailed them but balanced with joyous feelings of hope, strength, creativity and resilience. For me, Janne Teller's 'My Dream for Europe', although the most fanciful provided such a glittering image it's stuck in my head.
