First 2020 Vision and now this one. Do I sense a trend of reviewing 40-50 year-old books of futurism?

I (very vaguely) remember a book of futurism in the school library where I served my Grades 5 & 6 sentence (late 1970s). It purported to show what the shiny future of 2000 would look like.

I've no idea of the title or author. Or even what the cover looked like. A book completely stranded in my brain - all I know is that it existed.

I remember a *poster* from the same time period, positing three possible futures from Star Trek to Mad Max (though not couched in media allegories).

Looks like we're getting Mad Max.

And I'm curious what female SF authors were predicting about the future (2020 had only one story by a woman).
