Handmaid’s Tale is a novel that is powerful, eye-opening, and awakening to what women may go through. Setting for the future of the United States which in this novel is called the Republic of Gilead. With the social unrest of enslaved and fertile women being used for their bodies. Forced to conceive children for the religious extremist men. These women were called handmaids. Revealing a tender, despairing, passionate novel with a revealing dark facade. With the narrator, Offred goes through her personal life as a handmaid. To the flashbacks of her old life to her present life of living in the Republic of Gilead. Her recollections revealed her as a mother with her daughter living a good life to then transpire into something miserable. I recommend reading this book as it captures a woman’s life and also the realization of how many women were treated wrongly. I rate this book a 5/5, totally recommend it!
