So, first of all don’t wear your masks like the handmaids in this picture, cover your nose and help stop the spread of coronavirus together.
This dystopian tragedy is strong and deeply disturbing, showing what could happen if we all choose the wrong path for our future. After a civil war the new state Gilead has formed with power-hungry male leaders and a militarised, hierarchical regime of fanaticism and newly created social classes, in which women are brutally subjugated. By law, women in Gilead are forced to work in very limited roles, including some as natal slaves, and they are not allowed to own property, handle money, or read. Life without books and being constantly pregnant is not what any of modern feminists will ever wish upon themselves.
