Blessed be the fruit - and all women worldwide who have experienced oppression at the hands of human beings. In Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel set in the near-future(?), Offred tells us what the new regime is like and how religious extremists have turned women into breeding machines. The Handmaid’s Tale is more important than uplifting and all the more reason to better understand how oppression operates.
