Book Group: The Handmaids Tale

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion of The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood’s chilling and powerful dystopian novel. Set in the totalitarian regime of Gilead, the story follows Offred, a Handmaid forced into reproductive servitude, as she navigates a society where women’s rights have been stripped away.
This session will explore themes of power, control, resistance, and the role of language in shaping identity and truth. We’ll consider how Atwood’s speculative fiction still resonates today and what it reveals about gender, freedom, and societal change.
