In the brave new world, women do not have the right to own property, work, love, read, or write. They cannot run in the mornings, have picnics and parties, and are forbidden to remarry. They are left with only one function. Fredova is a Handmaid. Once a day she can go shopping, but she is not allowed to talk or remember. Once a month she meets with her owner - the Commander - and prays for a healthy child to result from their union. Because in the brave new world of victorious Christian fundamentalism, the Handmaid is merely a vessel for reproduction. Margaret Atwood's nerve-wracking novel 'The Handmaid's Tale', a Booker Prize laureate, is a compelling panorama of the future that could begin tomorrow.
