Fundamentalist Christians have infiltrate the U.S. Federal government and then stage a coo. It becomes against the law for women to work, buy things and eventually even to read. Pollution leads to widespread sterility. Women who are still fertile are pulled away from their families to become the handmaids of the new fundamentalist Christian power brokers. These handmaids have zero rights and exist only to bare children. It sounds like a fantastic story, but Atwood makes it seem realistic, thus making it scary. The fundamentalist Christians use the threat of radical Islam to seize power. Amazingly this book was written in the late 80s back before the term "radical Islam" was a part of most Americans lives. Such extreme Christians have been in our government and vocal about their values for years. There is even a "Stay At Home Daughter's Movement" of extreme Christians that do not allow their daughters to get educations. It will not take much imagination from the reader to make connections from Atwood's story to real life. I liked that Atwoood painted the villians not as especially talented people, but as very oridnary human beings. Interestingly, hypocritically, saving the last bits of pornography, prostitution, lingerie, alchohol, all around "sin" etc., for themselves, not being able to tolerate the lifestyle they forced on everyone else. Good story. Scary story. It takes what life may be like under the Taliban in Afghanistan and transplants what they may look like into an American run by extreme Christians.
