In the Republic of Gilead, Offred's body only serves to procreate, under the strict rules of the puritan dictatorship. If Offred rebels or cannot conceive, death or banishment to the Colonies awaits her. The regime controls every detail of women's lives, but no one can govern thought or desire. This novel by Margaret Atwood addresses topics such as the mixture of religion and politics, the subjugation of women, and the power of desire as a transgressive element.
