We’re back with our Book Club episodes! This time, let’s dive into Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a dystopian vision of a society, based in the United States, where women are stripped of autonomy, constantly surveilled, and reduced to reproductive machines. The story explores the oppressive structures of a patriarchal dictatorship and draws parallels to today’s world — showing how rights can quietly erode, financial independence can be weaponized, and women’s freedoms systematically restricted. We get into all the reasons why this classic remains urgently relevant in the current political climate, especially with movements like Project 2025 on the rise.
