       in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the 
       original book. Original book introduction: In Margaret 
       Atwood's dystopian future, environmental disasters and 
       declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil 
       War. The result is the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a 
       totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and 
       enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of
       these, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of 
       Gilead's commanders. Deprived of her husband, her child, 
       her freedom, and even her own name, Offred clings to her 
       memories and her will to survive. At once a scathing 
       satire, an ominous warning, and a tour de force of 
       narrative suspense, The Handmaid's Tale is a modern 
       classic."--|cProvided by Freading.
