This féminine dystopia is not much about the state as an authoritarian institution, but about how power can lie within the most important and vital of things: words, language and the symbols that carry it. It is not only a feminist and feminine staple (even if Atwood denies it), it is also a warning from the near future, which is what the author intended.

This is an absolutely gorgeous adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale, and I thoroughly enjoyed that it existed separately from the show. It's its own entity. The images themselves are gorgeous and bring to life this amazing book that Margaret Atwood created.
