The Handmaid's Tale
With terrifying understatement, this novel narrates the life of a college-educated mother ripped from her career and family to be a slave, in a dystopian United States too plausible to be forgotten. Forbidden by a fanatical government to read, choose their own clothes or appear in public alone, handmaids fulfill an awful purpose as the servants of wealthy families. All the while, however, strange new friendships emerge between the powerless and the powerful, as revolution glimmers on the horizon.

"That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary."
One year ago this would've all been so far-fetched. This book NEEDS to be read. Too many ideals are present in what a certain party of power is fighting for today, and too many situations have already become reality in our own world.
Hated it!!!!
But I read it!!!
Well written for the subject it was describing. Very visual. Maybe a lil to dark for me. What imagination do you have to have to write this book?!
Literally read this while you can. I could feel it in my bones as a woman and I wish more boys would grow up understanding how very real this fear is.
This is a really good book and I think you should read it because we take a lot of freedoms for granted but it also shows that there is always more to be done when it comes to feminism.
