Margaret Atwood. The Handmaid's Tale

In this brave new world, women are denied the right to own property, work, love, read, or write. They cannot go jogging in the morning, have picnics or parties, and are forbidden from remarrying. They are left with only one function.
Fredova is a Handmaid. She may go out once a day to buy groceries, but she is not allowed to speak or reminisce. Once a month, she meets with her master, the Commander, and prays that their union will produce a healthy child. Because in the brave new world of triumphant Christian fundamentalism, the Handmaid is merely a vessel for reproduction.
Booker Prize-winning author Margaret Atwood's nerve-wracking novel, The Handmaid's Tale, is a compelling panorama of a future that could begin tomorrow. Read it while you can.
