This fable of the near-future takes place in the former United States, where reactionary ideals have been carried to extremes. Women are strictly controlled, unable to have jobs or money, and are assigned to specific societal roles. Told from the perspective of one downtrodden handmaid whose sole purpose is to reproduce, Atwood’s 1985 novel will be sure to spark classroom discussions and student responses.
