An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from âthe patron saint of feminist dystopian fictionâ (New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss.
In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate âHandmaidsâ under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offredâ s persistent memories of life in the âtime beforeâ and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwoodâs devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaidâs Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.
