Description

Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaids Tale, discusses the novels growing relevance, as its dystopian plot of a totalitarian regime forcing women to reproduce seems more plausible today. Despite initial skepticism, Atwood believes such regimes are unsustainable and unlikely in diverse, resistant America. The novels iconic red cloaks have become a symbol of protest against policies like the overturning of Roe v. Wade and Trumps presidency.
