The Feminist Utopia Project: Fifty-Seven Visions of a Wildly Better Future by

3.0

I love the idea of this so much, but the execution is a little lacking. I suspect the editors had enough connection with each writer to ask for a contribution, but not enough money to entice contributors to spend the kind of time on these essays that they spend on their daily work. Most of the essays are rather shallow and vague. There are a handful of standouts though -- one about what a feminist constitution might look like, and one about how the next step in workers' justice is not higher wages but more free time. The design, concept, and organization are stellar, so refreshingly creative, and I did find the exercise of reading about various aspects of a feminist utopia very useful as a jumpstart for my own imaginings.
