Vrouwen zijn veelal onvruchtbaar geworden door straling en zijn volledig ondergeschikt. Hoge officieren die kinderloos zijn, krijgen een dienstmaagd toegewezen voor 'reproduktieve' doeleinden."

Kate -que tras ser entregada al Comandante Fred recibe el nombre Defred para identificar a quien pertenece- trata de escapar de esa fascistoide sociedad enfermiza, religiosamente fundamentalista y tiránica, aunque sabe que cualquier transgresión está penada con la muerte, como le recuerdan constantemente los cadáveres colgados en las alambradas que rodean el estado de Gilead."
