This Conversation is a collection of some of futures studies most prominent women's voices: those who have provided insight and guidance over the years and those whose wisdom is newer and emerging. This collection does not pretend to be all inclusive but a humble beginning to women's voices becoming stronger in the din of futures talk dominated by men. The Conversation is a weaving of writings forwarded to the editors of this special issue in response to questions developed by Ivana Milojevic, and distributed to futurists at the conference of World Futures Studies Federation in Budapest during August 2005 and through our various networks via email. We have also taken a few liberties by including additional words from the writings of women who responded but, humbly, did not say quite enough. We recognize that there are important feminist futurist's voices that are not included and can only say that for various reasons they were not able to participate. We hope that this conversation is only a beginning to a larger movement of women, of all ages, and around the world, becoming interested and active in creating their own localized, diverse, lush, dancing visions of the future.
