She used to read books and learn; now such things are forbidden to all women.   Gripping, disturbing, and so relevant today, The Handmaid’s Tale is a brilliant novel and a chilling warning about what can happen when extreme ideas are taken to their logical conclusions.   The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of fiction.
