The Handmaids Tale

Description

Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale is a chilling dystopian novel set in the Republic of Gilead, a brutal theocracy where women are stripped of their rights and reduced to their reproductive function. Offred, a Handmaid, lives under constant surveillance, knowing that disobedience means execution or exile to a slow death in the toxic Colonies. Yet even in this oppressive world, desire, defiance, and the fight for freedom endure. A gripping tale of power, survival, and resistance, this modern classic remains a profound critique of authoritarianism and gender oppression.
