It’s a politically different world as the totalitarian government of Gilead establishes rule in the former United States, in the aftermath of a civil war.
Social classes and gender statuses have been redefined as well, and women are at the bottom of the chain again. They are not allowed to read, own money or property and are also being subjected to natal slavery.
Owing to various external factors including environment pollution, most women have become infertile. Those who are fertile, and have a personal trait that the new government does not approve, are being kept as Handmaids for the elite of the society.

Written and published over three decades ago, The Handmaid's Tale – from Canadian author and Booker Prize-winner Margaret Atwood – is a work of dystopia that warns against the steady reverse slide towards conservative and patriarchal attitudes. Atwood wrote it during the Reagan era, when women were being attacked, figuratively and literally. The book was timely in 1985, but it's prescient for 2017, in the age of Trump.
