Feminisms is the belief in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes. This controversial (topic..??) has given liberation to many, and in doing so, has gained a huge following from right around the world with people of all different ages, races and genders joining the movement. Margarets Atwoods, ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, is a feminist dystopia that broadcasts to us, the audience, the way in which men portray women and ….. then to fitting into three different classes in our society; this being based on the males perception of age and fertility. Atwood exposes us to this through three different female leads: Moria, Offred and Serena Joy, as we learn how women are treated in the totalitarian regime of Gilead, which overall, teachs us how women are viewed in our society by our male counterparts. Leaving us with one question in the end: “which of us is it worse for, her or me?”

Ironically named after tranquility and delight, Serena Joy is nothing but. In her late 40s or 50s, infertile Serena has passed her used by date and spends her time tending to her garden in lieu of a child.
