As a reader, it makes you feel that we are not distant from something like this. Gilead is controlled by a Christian fundamentalist group who are trying to go back to an old way of living, something resembling the Old Testament. A new patriarchal structure is put in place and because fertility is an issue handmaids like June are now responsible for giving birth to all new children and the rights of women have stripped away. What might haunt you is the way that this new government takes hold, everyone thinks this is just temporary. June realizes that everybody thinks this is temporary and while they might be right but it might take out the whole of their lives. It’s a book that has often been challenged in American classrooms and libraries.
