    The handmaids tale is without a doubt, one of the greatest books of all time. The way it describes the atmosphere of gilead, the treachery of the government and hypocrisy, they way it speaks of how women suffer at the hands of power hungry men, and even how all the things they’ve done are things humans have done before time and again. Truly a masterpiece.

    She reminds me of a professor I once had. I loved that professor.

    One of my favorite authors! I think I have purchased The Handmaid's Tale at least twenty times to give to friends and family who need to read this book. She has a beauty to her words unlike any other.❤

    I met Margaret Atwood when I was 15 at a womens empowerment networking event. I met her, shook her hand and had no idea who she was. I am mortified. I wish I had known

    I read the same and similar books while in high school and college myself, as well as The Handmaid’s Tale…I’m writing a similarly styled book series about a group of preteen girls who rebel against their society, and show very clearly why they do it, as a group of powerful people control the whole dimension. Anyway, just wanted to add in the influence that books have on readers and writers.

    Gilead: America in the late 20’s-2030’s if we don’t wise up now!

      The only part of the series I want to come true is the Commander hunt... only replace fictional character with the mango mussolini.

    This woman, Ms .Margaret Atwood is INCREDIBLE. She's very much gifted for the nearly true but fictionalized The Handmaid's Tale, and since it's debut in 2017 it's brilliant how much we take for granted in today's society that it's completely plausible for a government overthrow. In which I pray never happens in mine or my children's lives. Honestly no one's lifetime. Though things in history is what aided Ms Atwood into her writing this book it came from things that have already happened and to a certain degree is still taking place today.

    Genius. Absolutely and terrifyingly prophetic. I hope people get the hint and champion democracy again.

      No hint has she ever made toward political preference goon. Do your research.

    Is it better to read the book or watch series?

      Listen to the audiobook. Free on yt. Its narrated by Elisabeth Moss!

      I'd say read the book first and then after a couple of months start with the tv show! The tv show is set in modern times and eventually diverges from the book. Both are great works. I'm actually reading The Testaments now, which was written a few years ago as a sort of sequel only not from the perspective of June, but other characters a couple of years after the Handmaid's Tale took place

      Both! Book first. Hulu series is hard to watch but PHENOMENAL. Especially once you get to season 3

    See? Men and women are totally different and literature is a standing testament to this reality.

    So sad that Atwood has become the supporter of the Trans Gilead. But if men are women your hero’s are villains now.

    I bet the women in her books are much happier than modern day feminists
