Study Guide to Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid's Tale (1986) - 4 views

  • language of "protection of women" could slip from a demand for more freedom into a retreat from freedom, to a kind of neo-Victorianism.
  • The language is feminist, but the result can be deeply patriarchal, as in this novel

Women who participated in the movement from the late sixties and early seventies responded to this novel strongly, often finding it extremely alarming. Younger women lacking the same background often found it baffling. Ask yourself as you read not whether events such as it depict s are likely to take place, but whether the attitudes and values it conveys are present in today's society.
