'This is a beautifully produced piece of 'community writing', published by the State Library of Queensland to celebrate a century of (white) women's suffrage, and the scant 40 years of Indigenous suffrage.

The book comprises two threads. One is a series of five commissioned essays; the other is a daisy chain of quotes from short pieces that a variety of Queensland women wrote in response to a call to imagine what life would be like for women. in 50 years' time. There are some engaging cartoons on women's suffrage from The Worker and The Australian Women's Sphere. The book is beautifully designed, with a dreamlike cover based on an artwork by Caitlin Reid.'
