One of the "New Windmills" series for schools, this is the story of Offred, one of the few women in the Republic of Gilead with functioning ovaries. Her sole duty is to bear children. If she deviates from this, she will be hanged as a dissident. But Offred is determined to find a way out.
Gilead is a totalitarian society where women have lost their freedom and autonomy. Only women with fertile ovaries are considered valuable and are used as breeding machines, like Offred. Any attempt at resistance is severely punished with the death penalty. This gripping novel explores themes of oppression, motherhood, and rebellion, offering insight into a dystopian world that seems frighteningly close to our own.
