Astrid Winterstein’s Reviews > The Handmaid's Tale > Status Update

The concept of "freedom from" and "freedom to" that is presented in the first few chapters is intriguing. The Handmaids are under constant surveillance, but they no longer have to worry about being sexually assaulted or taken advantage of. This is a concern that faces every woman today, but the tradeoff does not seem worth it in my opinion. The ability to choose, go to school, and have your own life is important.
