The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret AtwoodMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Even after almost 25 years, the Handmaid's Tale is still a powerful story of what happens to a society when one group of people are subjugated to another. In the this speculative fiction, women are denied their power by a theocracy that has taken over the country. This book stands beside 1984 and Brave New World as it pushes commonly held beliefs to their logical conclusions. In doing so, Atwood exposes their terror.
