Description

Philosophers look beyond the sea of red dresses to reveal insights about gender inequality, religious oppression, power, and violence.

In The Handmaid's Tale and Philosophy, philosophers offer their insights into the blockbuster best-selling novel and record-breaking TV series, The Handmaid's Tale. The story involves a future breakaway state in New England, plagued by environmental disaster and a plummeting birth rate, where the few remaining fertile women are conscripted to have sex and bear children for the most powerful men, all justified and rationalised by religious fundamentalism.
