Su protagonista, Defred, ha perdido su dinero, empleo y nombre, y ahora es una criada en Gilead, donde no se permite a las mujeres tener un trabajo autónomo, leer o entablar amistades. Bajo el nuevo régimen social, su único valor es ser una mujer fértil, y su único cometido es entregar su cuerpo una vez al mes a su amo, el «comandante», para ser fecundada.

She serves in the household of the Commander and his wife, and under the new social order she has only one purpose: once a month, she must lie on her back and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if they are fertile.

Now, her memories and her will to survive are acts of rebellion.u003cbru003eu003cbru003e Provocative, startling, prophetic, The Handmaid’s Tale has long been a global phenomenon.
