Title: The Handmaid's Tale
Review: Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale discusses the role of women in a society called Gilead, that because of declining birthrates women are stripped of their freedoms and given distinct roles all of which surround the notion of boosting the population. The heroine, Offred, is portrayed through the stages of her life beginning from being raised in a feminist environment by her mother, to becoming an individual, to having all of her rights taken away during the time of Gilead. Offred's struggle and willingness to survive without an identity, but two ovaries and a womb, will open the reader's eyes to the changing roles of women in society.
