Abstract
Dystopia has been and continues to be one of the most popular literary genres today. The authors like Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, and Margaret Atwood have attracted their audience with the portrayal of worlds much different than the utopian, idealistic ones. Out of dystopia emerged a sub-genre of feminist dystopia – dystopian novels focusing mostly on women's issues, and their voices and point of view. The most prominent work of feminist dystopia is Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. The Handmaid's Tale has inspired many authors to focus on similar topics and broaden the scope of feminist dystopian novels. One of them is Vox by Christina Dalcher. The two novels are thirty years apart but deal with similar women's issues such as oppression, attacks on their reproductive rights, the loss of economic and bodily agency, and so on. This thesis is going to apply the psychoanalitical terms “script” and “counter-script” to the field of literature to explain the way how the scripts of gender represent people and the world today and how the counter-scripts of gender represent the oppressive totalitarian treatment of women.
