In our latest series, we join forces with Summer and Joy from the Sheologians podcast to explore Margaret Atwood’s dark dystopian vision portrayed in her bestselling novel and its television adaptation, The Handmaid’s Tale.
Since its television debut on Hulu in 2017, The Handmaid’s Tale has not only become one of the most binged television shows in history, but it has also evolved into an independent symbol for “women’s rights” in today’s intense political climate.
Why has Atwood’s unique vision of an oppressive dystopian society—where women are portrayed as second-class citizens—resonated with so many? And how should we respond to the underlying worldviews presented in both the book and the show?
Come along with us as we join forces with Joy and Summer from Sheologians to un-tell The Handmaid’s Tale.
