Book Summary:

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood is a dystopian novel set in the near-future totalitarian regime of Gilead, a theocratic society in what was formerly the United States. Faced with environmental disasters and plummeting fertility rates, Gilead is governed by strict religious laws and rigid social roles. The story is told through the eyes of Offred, a "Handmaid" whose sole purpose is to bear children for the ruling class. Stripped of her identity, rights, and family, Offred navigates a life of surveillance, oppression, and quiet resistance. As she recalls memories of her past and confronts the brutal realities of her present, the novel explores themes of power, gender, control, and individual autonomy.
