Manage episode 164161126 series 1177764
“We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories.”
Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel, The Handmaid’s Tale, is a landmark work of speculative fiction that deals directly with questions of women’s agency in a fervently religious society. Dealing directly with womens’ role in reproduction and providing for society, Atwood’s novel gives us shocking insights into a society rendered infertile by pollution. Join Lydia, Jess and Matthew as they discuss the novel, its characters, and its relationship to politics today.
