Future Is Female Enamel Pin

Putting The Future Is Female inside a pink astronaut helmet gives a 1970s lesbian-feminist slogan a very different future to inhabit.

The Future Is Female was coined at Labyris, New York City's first feminist bookstore, which was lesbian-run and rooted in the radical lesbian-feminist politics of the 1970s. The slogan later escaped that specific context, was revived in mainstream fashion and became part of wider debates about who feminism imagines when it says 'female'.

A stylised woman in a pink astronaut suit and helmet carries the slogan into pure retro-futurist camp, making this version feel deliberately space-age rather than floral.

For lesbians, feminists, sci-fi queers and people who like their archive with a little critical distance, this version is less 'repeat the old slogan unchanged' and more 'take it somewhere stranger, brighter and more expansive'.
