the Handmaid's Tale 1-49
Well so far im a bit lost. this is what i have gotten thus far though. the world has changed alot. Women have very few rights and are given statuses. The handmaid's are able to have kids so they are brought to houses of important familys to have kids for them. There was war with alot of chemicals used and alot of people were sick. She dosnt like her life and remembers how things were before. she misses her husben and kid. the lady of the house dosnt like her. she has chores to do and dosnt like haveing to ware a red rode dress thing and hat. other places in the world are not as modist.
