Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic
of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to
walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women
are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray
that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births,
Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable.
Offred can remember the years before, when she lived and made love with her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now...
