The glory of living freely, the bliss of fresh air and the peace of living according to our will are some of the most basic things which we all thrive for. But what would happen if one day out of nowhere, orders are released that you are no more rightful of these basic things. All the belongings of women will be of the man who "possesses her" and they are meant to only bear children.

The Handmaid's Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was the United States. Gilead is ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state, and is faced with environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate.
