Handmaid's Tale, The Check Availability

Fiction

Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only for their fertility. Offred can remember the days before, when she lived with her husband Luke; when she played with her daughter; when she had a job, money, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now... Published in 1985; 311 pages.
