About The Handmaid’s Tale
The Handmaid’s Tale is a dystopian novel set in the Republic of Gilead, an imagined version of the USA after the rise to power of a repressive Christian movement. In this theocracy, Handmaids are only valued for their ability to reproduce and have no identity of their own, being referred to instead by a modified version of the name of the male Commander they have been assigned to. The novel traces the journey of one such Handmaid, Offred, whose only choices are to bow to this repressive structure or risk her life trying to resist it.
The Handmaid’s Tale has recently been adapted into an award-winning television series starring Elisabeth Moss, Joseph Fiennes and Samira Wiley.
