The Handmaids Tale

Everything Handmaids wear is red the colour of blood, which defines us.Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships She serves in the household of the Commander and his wife, and under the new social order she has only one purpose once a month, she must lie on her back and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if they are fertile But Offred remembers the years before Gilead, when she was an independent woman who had a job, a family, and a name of her own Now, her memories and her will to survive are acts of rebellion.Provocative, startling, prophetic, The Handmaid s Tale has long been a global phenomenon With this stunning graphic novel adaptation of Margaret Atwood s modern classic, beautifully realized by artist Renee Nault, the terrifying reality of Gilead has been brought to vivid life like never before.
