In a dystopian future, the Republic of Gilead has emerged after a theocratic coup in the United States. In this totalitarian society, fertile women, known as Handmaids, are forced into sexual servitude to repopulate the country. Offred, one of these Handmaids, struggles to survive and maintain her identity in an oppressive world where every aspect of her life is controlled. Through her story, themes of power, gender, religion, and resistance are explored in a society that has stripped women of their most basic rights.
