All Handmaid attire is crimson, symbolising the hue of blood that underpins our identity.
In the Republic of Gilead, where women are not allowed to work, read, or make friends, Offred is a handmaid. Serving in the Commander and his wife's home, she has one job under the new social structure: every month, she has to lie on her back and hope that the Commander conceives her because, in an era of dwindling births, Offred and the other Handmaids are only valuable if they are fertile. Offred, however, recalls the time before Gilead, when she was a self-reliant woman with a family, a career, and a unique name. Her survival instincts and her memories are now rebellious.
Provocative, shocking, and prescient, The Handmaid's Tale has been a worldwide sensation for a long time. The horrifying reality of Gilead has been vividly brought to life like never before with this magnificent graphic book adaptation of Margaret Atwood's contemporary classic, masterfully realised by artist Renee Nault.
