Atwood has mentioned that calling The Handmaid’s Story a “feminist dystopia” wasn’t solely correct. She defined: “In a feminist dystopia pure and easy, all the males would have higher rights than all the ladies. It might be two-layered in construction: high layer males, backside layer ladies. However Gilead is the standard form of dictatorship: formed like a pyramid, with the highly effective of each sexes on the apex, the lads typically outranking the ladies on the identical degree; then descending ranges of energy and standing with women and men in every, all the best way right down to the underside, the place the single males should serve within the ranks earlier than being awarded an Econowife.”
