Imagine a world in which women are not allowed to read and books are burned. Such is the world that Offred lives in; serving as a Handmaid a slave living in a household where her sole purpose is to get pregnant by the man who owns her to provide a child to him and his wife.

Handmaids live a very oppressed life and if they are not able to perform their duty and produce a child, then they have very few offers, one being put to death.
