Description
This is a book about what happens when certain casually held attitudes about women are taken to their logical conclusions. In the Republic of Gilead, Offred is a handmaid. As one of the few women left with functioning ovaries, the one role allowed to her is to breed. If she deviates, she will be hanged at the Wall or sent out to die of radiation sickness. But Offred has clear memories of the time before when women were free, and she is determined to find a way out.,--P. [4] of cover.
