    Margaret Atwood ’s The Handmaid ’s Tale would seem‚ on the surface‚ a straightforward feminist text. The narrative is set in a speculative future‚ exploring gender inequalities in an absolute patriarchy in which women are breeders‚ housekeepers‚ mistresses‚ or housewives—or otherwise exiled to the Colonies.
