Summary:
Set in the near future, the handmaids of the title are women who can still bear children after the ravages of war cause widespread sterility. One of the handmaids, Kate, is caught trying to escape the Republic of Gilead and sent to the prison-like training centre. She is sent from there to the home of the commander to bear his child, but revolutionary forces have other plans for her.
