The Handmaid’s Tale (Franchise)
The Handmaid’s Tale is a novel by Margaret Atwood set in a future where a strict, male-led government called Gilead has taken over the U.S. In this society, women have very few rights, and some, like the main character Offred, are forced to have children for powerful men. The book focuses on themes like the loss of women’s freedom, control over reproduction, and how women try to resist. It has won major awards, inspired many adaptations, and has a sequel called The Testaments.
