The Handmaid's Tale is a dystopian novel written in 1985 by Canadian writer Margaret Atwood. It is set in a near-future New England, in a totalitarian state that resembles a theonomy that overthrows the government of the United States.

The novel centers on the life of the handmaid named "Offred" - her name derived from the possessive form "of Fred" because handmaids are forbidden to use their real names and must use aliases associated with the name of the masters they serve.

The Handmaid's Tale examines women's subjugation in a patriarchal society and the different ways in which these women seek freedom and autonomy. The teaching points of the novel for students include a more concrete introduction to women in politics and social sciences.
